Cleveland permits STRs with a clear, low-cost path (annual rental registration at $70, basic inspections, 3% TOT) and no active cap; but life‑safety requirements, a proposed separate STR license ($150), $300k insurance, guest limits, 15% block cap (not yet enacted), and county bed tax add moderate complexity and risk.
