In the City of Holland, a short-term rental owner must register the unit with the Community and Neighborhood Services Department and pass an inspection before a Certificate of Compliance is issued. Park Township requires no registration because residential STRs are simply not allowed there.
Ottawa County has no STR registry; registration is a municipal function. In Holland, the owner completes a registration form submitted to the Community and Neighborhood Services Department, and a Certificate of Compliance is only issued after an inspection shows compliance with the housing and property-maintenance code and the relevant chapters of the code of ordinances. Holland also conditions the certificate on the property not having three or more public-safety visits in 12 months and not having four or more local-ordinance violations in 12 months. Owner-occupied rentals are allowed in any zone district; investor-owned (non-owner-occupied) rentals are capped and separated by distance. Neighboring units such as Georgetown Charter Township regulate STRs as bed-and-breakfast uses in Section 20.4 of their zoning ordinance.
Operating an unregistered or uncertified STR in Holland is a municipal ordinance violation; the city can deny or revoke the Certificate of Compliance and pursue municipal civil infraction penalties. Georgetown and Park Township enforce their own zoning ordinances against noncompliant
