Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Clermont County, OH

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Clermont County, OH because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No countywide short-term rental (STR) ordinance or county permitting program was identified on official Clermont County government sites. STR regulation within Clermont County is enacted at the municipal/township level: e.g., City of Milford allows STRs with owner-occupancy required in residential areas, 300-foot separation between residential STRs, and a cap of 30 STRs citywide; Union Township (proposed 2025) treats STRs as Conditional Uses with safety standards and occupancy limits up to 10 persons. Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
