Butler County sets no annual night cap on short-term rentals, and Hamilton's Chapter 758 imposes no maximum-nights-per-year limit either. Ohio defines short-term as under 30 consecutive days per stay. Any night cap would come from a specific city or township ordinance.
There is no county-wide cap on how many nights a short-term rental may operate in Butler County. Hamilton Chapter 758, the most detailed local ordinance, contains no maximum-nights-per-year limit; a licensed unit may operate year-round. What Hamilton and Ohio do define is the length of a single stay: a short-term rental is the rental of a residential dwelling for lodging where occupancy typically lasts less than seven days and shall not exceed 30 consecutive days. Stays of 30 days or more fall outside the short-term-rental rules. If a specific Butler County city or township adopts an annual night cap, it would appear in that jurisdiction's own code, so verify locally.
Because no night cap exists, there is no cap-specific penalty; enforcement in Hamilton targets operating without a license or exceeding bedroom, bed, occupancy, parking and noise limits.
