through in-person workshops and online surveys to collect feedback and learn
more about issues regarding short-term rentals in our community. Following this
engagement, it is recommended to temporarily pause new short-term rentals in
the City of Muskegon from March 12, 2024, to September 8, 2024, and impose
new enforcement policies for short-term rentals that violate City ordinances.
