Summary
Montgomery County sets no short-term-rental parking requirement. Off-street parking and guest-parking standards are established by your city, village, or township zoning code under Ohio law, not by the county. Check your local municipality for any minimum-parking rule tied to rentals.
The board of county commissioners may regulate by resolution, in accordance with a comprehensive plan, the location, height, bulk, number of stories, and size of buildings and other structures... and the uses of land for trade, industry, residence, recreation, or other purposes in the unincorporated territory of the county.
Full Breakdown
There is no county ordinance dictating how many parking spaces a short-term rental must provide or where guests may park. Parking standards flow from local zoning, which in Ohio is adopted by municipalities for their own territory and by townships for unincorporated land under ORC 519.02. The county's own zoning power under ORC 303.02 reaches only unincorporated rural territory that has adopted county zoning. For any parking minimum, driveway rule, or on-street restriction affecting your rental, consult your city, village, or township.
Violations & Fines
Parking violations are cited by the local police or zoning enforcement of the municipality or township; the county imposes no short-term-rental parking penalty.
