flag Michigan lawmakers propose local taxes on short-term rentals to offset community costs from platforms like Airbnb.

flag Michigan lawmakers have introduced three bills allowing local communities to put short-term rental taxes on the ballot, aiming to help cover costs from noise, overcrowding, and strain on services caused by platforms like Airbnb. flag The legislation, supported by Representative Mark Tisdel, gives municipalities a tool to address impacts from transient renters who may not follow local norms. flag Opponents, including the Michigan Realtors Association, warn the measures could infringe on property rights and argue tax revenue should support tourism promotion. flag The bills are now under review by the House Economic Competitiveness Committee.
