As of October 2026, Putnam Township does not list a rental registration or rental inspection program for long-term rentals on its website or in its code of ordinances.
Chapter 264 of the township code does cover short-term rentals, which it defines as renting a single-family dwelling for a term of at least two but not more than 27 nights. Every short-term rental unit must be registered with the township and approved by the Zoning Administrator, and the owner must consent to inspections by the Putnam Township Fire Department. That chapter covers short-term rentals only and does not apply inside the Village of Pinckney.
Owners can confirm current requirements with the Putnam Township Zoning Administrator at 734-878-3131 before leasing.
