Cuyahoga County has no countywide night cap on STRs. Cleveland does not limit annual rental nights for registered STRs. However, several suburbs including Rocky River and Bay Village effectively cap STRs by requiring minimum 30-day rental terms, excluding all short-term stays.
Unlike coastal cities (New York, San Francisco), no Cuyahoga County municipality has adopted a specific annual night cap such as the 90-day limit common elsewhere. Cleveland allows unlimited STR nights for registered operators, whether owner-occupied or non-owner-occupied. Enforcement focuses on registration compliance, safety inspections, and nuisance abatement rather than night counts. Suburbs that effectively prohibit STRs do so by defining residential rentals as 30-day minimum leases in their zoning codes.
No cap means no cap-specific violations; standard STR registration penalties apply.
