Franklin County imposes no annual night caps on short-term rentals. Columbus CC 4117 does not cap total rental nights for permitted STRs, though non-owner-occupied permits face stricter density rules in some zoning districts. Bexley limits non-owner-occupied STRs to 90 rental days per year. Dublin prohibits STRs under 30 days entirely in residential zones, effectively capping stays at 0 nights.
Most Franklin County municipalities use permit type (owner-occupied vs non-owner-occupied) and zoning district restrictions rather than hard night caps. Columbus issues unlimited-night permits but restricts total number of non-owner-occupied STRs per block in some areas. Hosts should consult specific municipal code for their property location. IRS 14-day rule still applies for federal tax-free rental income.
Bexley exceeding 90-day cap: 200 dollars per day, permit revocation. Dublin operating prohibited STR: up to 1,000 dollars per day. Columbus no night cap violation exists but density rules may deny new permits.
