Genesee County has no countywide STR registration ordinance. Registration, if any, is set by your city or township. The one county-level obligation is tax-related: rentals of 29 nights or fewer owe the 5% county accommodations tax filed with the County Treasurer.
Because Michigan land use is zoned locally under the MZEA, whether a host must register is decided by the municipality. Some Genesee County townships (for example Flushing Charter Township) require a local short-term rental permit/registration application, while the City of Flint instead limits STRs by zoning district. The county does not maintain a single STR registry. What is countywide is the accommodations (bed) tax: hosts of short stays must account for the 5% tax collected on their rental, with quarterly returns to the Genesee County Treasurer even when a platform like Airbnb collects it automatically.
Failure to register where a local ordinance requires it is enforced by the city or township. Separately, not filing the county accommodations-tax return can expose the host to county tax collection and penalties.
