Toledo does not impose annual night caps on short-term rentals as of 2026. Operators may rent as many nights per year as desired, subject to zoning, tax, and registration compliance.
Unlike cities such as San Francisco or Portland that cap unhosted STR days (typically 90 or 180 per year), Toledo has no ordinance limiting STR nights. Owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied rentals face the same (minimal) local regulation. This could change if City Council adopts STR-specific legislation, which has been discussed periodically. Hosts should monitor toledo.oh.gov and the Council agenda for proposed ordinances. Platform nights generally align with how the property qualifies for tax treatment (under 14 nights per year can trigger federal Masters rule, though Ohio conforms to federal income tax treatment). Lucas County bed tax applies regardless of nightly count.
