Granville caps short-term rental occupancy at the lesser of three people per off-street parking space, or two people plus two per bedroom. The permit states each rental's maximum, and the 24-hour manager must keep guests within it.
Granville sets Licking County's clearest STR occupancy rule. Under Chapter 1182.05, the Director specifies a maximum for each permit, and it can't exceed the lesser of three persons per off-street parking space, or two persons plus two per sleeping room. So the tighter of the two tests always wins - a home with limited driveway parking is capped by the parking count even if it has more bedrooms. The local property manager is obligated to keep guests within the limit. Newark and the townships don't publish a fixed STR occupancy formula, so building-code and zoning occupancy standards apply instead. List the exact cap in your listing.
Exceeding the stated occupancy at a Granville rental is a permit violation the manager must correct; repeated overcrowding is grounds for suspension or revocation under Chapter 1182.
