All rental dwellings in Toledo, including STRs, must be registered with the Department of Neighborhoods under TMC Chapter 1760 (Rental Dwelling Registration). Annual fee and property maintenance inspections apply.
Toledo Municipal Code Chapter 1760 requires every owner of a residential rental dwelling within the city to register each property annually with the Department of Neighborhoods. Registration includes owner contact information, local agent designation if owner lives outside Lucas County, property address, and number of units. An annual fee (typically 80 dollars per unit, subject to change) applies. Properties are subject to exterior property maintenance inspection, with interior inspection triggered by complaints or program cycles. STRs qualify as residential rentals under this program. Registration is separate from any lodging tax account at the county. Rental registration must be current for legal occupancy. Non-registered rentals face citations and cannot legally collect rent. Application and payment handled through the Department of Neighborhoods rental registry.
Operating unregistered rental: TMC 1760.99 violation, fines up to 150 dollars per day. Civil penalties and inability to pursue eviction in unlawful detainer court.
