Generally Investor friendly
Short-term rentals are permitted without city caps or explicit licensing, but investors must obtain a Genesee County Certificate of Authority, register for and remit the county bed tax, and file quarterly returns—plus NY sales tax compliance. The biggest burdens are moderate permitting and the need to verify MDL classification (Class A vs B) for building/zoning compatibility, especially in multi-unit settings.
