Macomb County does not operate a short-term rental registration system. Any registration or renewal requirement is set by the individual city or township, so hosts must register with their local clerk or building department where such a program exists.
There is no countywide STR registry in Macomb County, and Michigan maintains no state registry. The Accommodations Tax Act confines regulatory authority to a 'city or township' (MCL 141.861(f)), so registration obligations vary community by community. In Hazel Park, STR operators must obtain a city license that expires annually on December 31 and is capped in number citywide; other communities such as Macomb Township have not adopted STR registration. Because the county plays no role, contact the clerk or community development office of the specific city or township to learn whether registration, inspection, or a local business license is required and to obtain forms and fees. The county's role is limited to property-tax records and deeds.
No county registration violation exists because the county has no registry. Where a municipality requires registration, operating without it violates that ordinance — a civil infraction with daily fines, and in capped-license communities like Hazel Park, license revocation.
