Generally Investor friendly
Bay City permits STRs under its general rental registration/inspection program—no STR-specific ban, caps, or platform rules. Investors must complete rental registration, pass housing inspections, carry insurance and post safety info, and comply with the 5% Bay County lodging assessment; these steps are moderate but manageable, and no additional city excise tax or hard caps are in place.
