All residential rentals in Livonia, including short-term, must be enrolled in the city rental housing registration program with periodic inspections by the Inspection Department.
Livonia requires every non-owner-occupied residential rental to be registered with the city Inspection Department regardless of stay length. Registration includes owner contact, local agent for 24/7 response, and a periodic inspection on a two or three year cycle depending on past compliance. Inspectors check smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, egress, electrical safety, and exterior property maintenance. Fees are set annually by the City Council and generally fall between 50 and 150 dollars per unit per cycle. Failure to register or allow inspection can result in civil infraction tickets, escrow of rent under MCL 125.535, or an order to vacate. Short-term operators must register in addition to confirming the underlying zoning permits transient lodging. Apply online or at Livonia City Hall, 33000 Civic Center Drive.
