To host an Airbnb in the Village of Put-in-Bay, you must first ensure your property is in a commercial or permitted residential zone that allows for transient rentals. You are required to register with the Village Fiscal Officer to collect and pay the 4% Village Hotel Tax on all stays shorter than 30 days. Additionally, you must remit the 3% Ottawa County Lodging Tax. While there is no specific 'STR permit' like in larger cities, you must comply with general business licensing and fire safety standards.
