Livonia STR operators owe the Michigan 6 percent use tax on accommodations, plus any local rental registration fees; the city itself does not levy a separate bed tax.
Michigan imposes a 6 percent use tax on transient accommodations under the Use Tax Act (MCL 205.93a), which applies to any lodging rental of less than 30 days. Platforms such as Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit this tax for Michigan hosts, but owners who book direct must register with the Michigan Department of Treasury and file returns themselves. Wayne County does not add a separate hotel tax. Livonia itself charges rental registration and inspection fees under the rental housing program, typically in the 50 to 150 dollar range per unit on a multi-year cycle. Income tax reporting is required on both federal and Michigan returns for any rental grossing more than 14 nights per year. Hosts should retain booking records for at least four years in case of a state tax audit.
