Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Troy, MI

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Troy, MI because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No explicit City of Troy or Oakland County short-term rental ordinance or dedicated STR permit guidance was found on official local government pages as of 2026-03-01. The City publishes a Multiple Family Rental Inspection Program (applies to dwellings occupied by three or more families) and general Building Department and permit/forms resources, but no codified STR rules (zoning allowance, occupancy caps, primary-residence requirements, minimum nights, platform registration) were located on official Troy or Oakland County sources. Michigan legislative proposals (summary analysis) would create a state registry and allow local reasonable regulations if enacted. Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
