No county STR registry exists. In Hamilton, applications go to the Director of Planning and must list the address, bedroom count, off-street parking, host and emergency-contact info, plus building, health, zoning and fire-code compliance certifications. Licenses run two years.
Butler County keeps no county-wide short-term-rental register; registration is a municipal function. Hamilton Chapter 758 sets the model: applications are filed with the Director of Planning on a City form and must include the unit's address, the location and number of bedrooms offered, off-street parking details (spaces, size, surface), and valid contact information for the host and an emergency contact who lives within the Cincinnati or Dayton metro area. Applicants file separate declaratory statements certifying conformance with building, health, zoning and fire codes, and confirming City Tax Department registration. Owners must apply to renew at least 30 days before expiration; after approval, owners within 100 feet are notified.
Falsifying application facts, operating after being told to apply, or an uncorrected City violation are grounds to deny a new or renewal license under Hamilton 758.09.
