There is no Summit County short-term-rental registry. Registration rules are municipal. Akron requires an annual STR registration certificate and treats the unit as a registered rental; other Summit County cities may or may not require registration.
Ohio counties do not maintain a countywide STR registry. Summit County's Fiscal Office runs a separate Residential Rental Registry that identifies rental-property owners for tax and contact purposes, but that is a general rental-owner listing, not an STR license. STR-specific registration is created by individual municipalities. In Akron, all short-term-rental operators must obtain a yearly registration certificate (Article 37, Ch. 111) and register the property as a rental unit under the housing code; the certificate is non-transferable and a new registration is required within 30 days if ownership changes. Check your own municipality, because rules differ sharply between Akron, the suburbs and the townships.
Locally enforced. Akron may cite, fine or revoke certificates for operating without registration; the Fiscal Office's residential rental registry carries its own reporting duties for owners.
