Can a landlord refuse Section 8 in Baraga County?

No. Michigan law prohibits landlords from refusing a renter because they pay with a Section 8 voucher. That protection applies in Baraga County. If you were turned away for having a voucher, that refusal may be illegal.

Michigan Public Act 195 of 2024 (effective April 2, 2025)

Michigan Public Act 195 of 2024 added source-of-income protection to state law, effective April 2 2025. BUT the state law only applies to landlords with 5 or more rental units — small landlords (1-4 units) remain exempt at the state level. Local ordinances may cover the small-landlord gap; Detroit and Southfield both do.
