There is no county STR registry. In Toledo, an STR permit application must show the property is registered as a residential rental and passes life-safety, tax, and water-bill compliance checks before the operating permit is issued.
Lucas County keeps no short-term rental registration list. Registration exists at the municipal level. Toledo folds STRs into its residential rental system: the Chapter 702 permit application requires evidence of rental-registry compliance, a certificate of tax compliance, an affidavit of life-safety compliance, a basic site plan, and proof of insurance. The permit is reviewed by multiple city departments before issuance. Other Lucas County cities and townships may require a simpler zoning check or no registration at all. Always confirm with your local building or zoning office.
In Toledo, operating without completing registration/permit review is treated as unpermitted operation: $100 per week up to $500.
