Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Cedar, MI

Airbnb listings are allowed in Cedar, MI, but with restrictions. Lodging uses (rental cottages, inns, tourist homes) are restricted to specific districts such as Resort Recreation and Business; Bed & Breakfasts may be allowed in residential zones as a special land use. All such uses require a land use permit and may require site plan review or public hearings; no specific STR caps or residency requirements are currently adopted. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements.
