Limits local regulation of short-term rental properties and extends lodging taxes to them.

Ohio SB 104 limits local governments' ability to regulate short-term rental properties. It prohibits local governments from enacting regulations that prohibit short-term rentals, create a lottery system for registration, restrict the number of properties a person can operate, or require property owners to occupy the properties. Local governments can still require registration or licensing of short-term rentals, with fees not exceeding $20 per year per property.
