Executive Summary
Cleveland passed its STR crackdown 14-1, requiring a $150 annual license, capping rentals at 10% of homes per block, and limiting stays to 30 days, with $1,000 to $5,000 fines for operating without a license once the rules take effect in 180 days. Because almost no operators registered under the old rules, few of the city's estimated 900 to 1,500 rentals will be grandfathered, and some may have to close. Blue River, Colorado, froze all new and lapsed STR license applications and renewals through December 31 while it rewrites its rules, though rentals with a valid 2026 license can keep operating. Glendale, Wisconsin, banned bookings shorter than one week after a shooting injured a 22-year-old at a rental with a history of police calls. On the developing side, Hudson, Ohio, pushed its decision to September 15 on a plan that would add a 3% bed tax, raise permit fees from $100 to $500, and cap operators at six units per ward. Pasco, Washington, and Strasburg Township, Pennsylvania, are both weighing new limits, with Strasburg voting 3-0 to start drafting a ban on new rentals.
New Regulations
Cleveland, Ohio
Licensing / Zoning · Published June 2, 2026
Cleveland City Council passed STR rules 14-1, requiring a $150 annual license, capping rentals at 10% of homes per block or building, and limiting stays to 30 days, with a complaint responder required on scene within an hour. Unlicensed operation draws $1,000 to $5,000 fines and the rules take effect in 180 days, so few of the city's estimated 900 to 1,500 STRs will be grandfathered and some may have to close.
