Hamilton County places no cap on the number of nights a property may be rented short-term. Cincinnati's registration does not impose an annual night limit. Any night cap would be a specific municipal ordinance.
Hamilton County imposes no limit on how many nights per year a home may be rented as a short-term rental. Cincinnati's short-term-rental program registers units for a three-year term and taxes the activity, but it does not set an annual maximum number of rented nights. Some U.S. cities cap unhosted rentals at a set number of nights per year; no such county-wide cap exists here, and Cincinnati has not adopted one. A night cap in Hamilton County would only exist if a particular city, village, or township wrote one into its zoning or licensing code, so operators planning heavy year-round use should still confirm there is no local ceiling.
Where no night cap exists, none is enforced. If a municipality adopts one, exceeding it can void a local registration and prompt zoning citations.
