Saugatuck Short-Term Rental Law
Short-term rental regulations in the Saugatuck area are complex and township-specific. Saugatuck Township, Laketown Township, and the City of Saugatuck each have different rules regarding licensing, rental nights, parking, and permitted zones. These rules have changed in recent years and continue to evolve.
Before purchasing property with the intent to rent it on Airbnb, VRBO, or any other platform, confirm the township’s current rules. Michael regularly advises buyers on short-term rental compliance as part of the real estate closing process.
