Gaylord

The City of Gaylord does not have a dedicated short-term rental ordinance. Under permissive zoning, STRs are not explicitly permitted in primary residential zones, and hosts may need to apply for a 'Tourist Home' special use permit or risk zoning enforcement.

To host an Airbnb in the City of Gaylord, you should be aware that there is no official permit system specifically for short-term rentals. This means the city technically hasn't given the 'green light' for these rentals in residential neighborhoods. While many hosts operate, you should contact the Planning Department to see if your property qualifies as a 'Tourist Home.' You must also ensure you are collecting the 6% Michigan Use Tax and checking if any local tourism fees apply through the county.
