Houghton

The City of Houghton currently has no dedicated short-term rental ordinance or permit system, though regulations are under active discussion by the City Council as of late 2023. Hosts are subject to general city noise ordinances and state-level Michigan Use Tax (6%).

To host an Airbnb in the City of Houghton, you do not currently need a specific short-term rental permit because the city has not yet passed a dedicated law for them. However, the City Council is currently working on new rules, so you should check with the Planning Department before starting. You are still required to pay Michigan's 6% state use tax, which is usually collected automatically by platforms like Airbnb.
