Cuyahoga County imposes a 5.5 percent transient occupancy (bed) tax on stays under 30 days. Ohio state sales tax (5.75 percent plus county 2.25 percent) also applies. Airbnb and Vrbo auto-collect in most cases.
The Cuyahoga County bed tax of 5.5 percent is administered by the County Fiscal Office under ORC 5739.09. Parma does not levy an additional municipal bed tax. Total tax on a Parma STR stay typically runs about 13.5 percent (5.5 percent county lodging + 8 percent sales tax). Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit the county bed tax directly for bookings made through their platforms. Operators booking outside platforms must register with the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office and file monthly returns. Ohio has no state-level lodging tax.
Failure to collect or remit bed tax results in assessments, interest, and penalties up to 50 percent of tax due under ORC 5739.13.
