Kent County keeps no STR registry. Cities do. Kentwood, for instance, requires every rental dwelling to be entered in its rental registry and hold a Certificate of Compliance before it may be occupied.
There is no countywide short-term-rental registry in Kent County; registration is a municipal function. Kentwood's ordinance is representative: under Chapter 74, owners must register the property, provide owner and agent contact details, and obtain a Certificate of Compliance following inspection before letting it for occupancy. Grand Rapids similarly requires rental registration plus its Home Occupation license and a floor plan on file. Details, fees, and inspection cycles differ by city, so register with the municipality where the property is located rather than expecting a single county process.
Kentwood: 'It is a violation of this article for an owner to fail to provide information required by the city for the rental registry, or to provide inaccurate information.'
