To host an Airbnb in unincorporated Keweenaw County, you do not currently need a specific county-level short-term rental permit. You are required to collect and remit the 6% Michigan State Use Tax on all stays under 30 days. Always check with your specific township (like Eagle Harbor or Grant) as they may have separate local zoning rules or health department requirements for septic systems in rental properties. Ensure your property meets basic fire safety standards, including working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
