Montgomery County sets no annual cap on the number of nights a property may be rented short-term. Any night limit comes from your city, village, or township zoning. The county lodging tax only marks stays of 30 or more consecutive days as tax-exempt, which is not a rental cap.
There is no county-imposed maximum number of rental nights per year. Night caps, where they exist, are a local zoning tool adopted by municipalities or by townships under ORC 519.02. The only county time-based rule concerns the Hotel Lodging Excise Tax: stays under 30 consecutive days are 'transient' and taxable, while a stay of 30 or more consecutive days is exempt. That distinction affects taxation, not how many nights per year a property may be rented. Confirm any night-cap rule with your city, village, or township.
Night-cap enforcement is by the local zoning authority; the county imposes no night-cap penalty. The 30-day threshold only determines lodging-tax liability.
