Lorain County sets no short-term-rental parking rule for incorporated areas. Off-street parking is a city zoning matter, imposed on Lorain STRs through the Conditional Use Permit and the general off-street parking standards of the zoning code.
Ohio counties do not zone incorporated cities, so no countywide STR parking standard exists. In Lorain, short-term rentals require a Conditional Use Permit under Part Eleven, and off-street parking is governed by the city's Off-Street Parking and Loading regulations (Cod. Ord. Chapter 1149), which the Planning Commission applies as a condition of approval. Because the exact space count depends on the Planning Commission's conditions and the dwelling type, the city building/zoning office is the authoritative source. Unincorporated townships apply their own or county ORC 303/519 zoning. We could not confirm a specific numeric STR parking ratio verbatim from the official code.
Parking conditions attached to a Conditional Use Permit are enforced by the city; violating a permit condition can lead to revocation of the STR's Housing License.
