Montgomery County does not require a host or local contact to be present during short-term-rental stays. On-site host or responsible-party rules, where they exist, are adopted by your city, village, or township zoning code, not by the county.
No county ordinance requires a host to be present or to designate a local contact for a short-term rental. Requirements like a 24-hour responsible party or on-site host presence are set through local zoning by the municipality or, for unincorporated land, the township under ORC 519.02. The county's zoning authority under ORC 303.02 applies only to unincorporated rural areas that have adopted county zoning. Hosts should confirm any host-presence or emergency-contact rule directly with the city, village, or township that governs their property.
Any host-presence or local-contact requirement is enforced by the local zoning authority; Montgomery County imposes no such penalty.
