HostReadySand Lake, MI does not appear to have a city-level short-term rental ordinance in our data, and we have no record of a Michigan statewide preemption law governing STRs. This means your rental is not currently subject to a specific local STR rule that we can cite. Michigan does apply a state use tax of 6% on lodging, which you will need to collect and remit. Contact the City of Sand Lake and Kent or Montcalm County (whichever applies to your parcel) directly to confirm any local zoning, licensing, or county-level requirements before hosting.
