Short-term rental operators in Westland must collect the Michigan 6 percent Use Tax on stays under 30 days and pay any local rental registration fees; no dedicated STR tax currently applies.
Michigan imposes a 6 percent Use Tax on accommodations rented for less than 30 consecutive days under MCL 205.93a, and this applies to Westland short-term rentals. Hosts are responsible for remitting Use Tax to the Michigan Department of Treasury unless the booking platform (such as Airbnb or Vrbo) collects and remits on their behalf; confirm platform agreements. Wayne County does not impose a local accommodations excise tax on cities like Westland. At the local level, rental property registration fees apply to any dwelling rented to non-owners, and inspection fees may be billed on a cycle basis. Operators should also track federal income tax reporting on rental revenue. No Westland-specific STR licensing fee exists as of 2026.
