I only plan to rent my unit once a year, do I need a short term rental permit?

Yes, if you rent out your home for periods of less than 30 consecutive days, you must obtain a short term rental (STR) permit.

Do I need a permit before advertising my short term rental?

Yes, all STR properties must receive a permit before advertising or operation.

How do I find out if my property is located in unincorporated Summit County?

Search for your address on the Summit County GIS Parcel Query Tool . You can locate the jurisdiction of your property on the bottom left of the page.

I am switching property management companies.  How do I update that information in my STR permit?

The responsible agent/property manager on the active permit will need to access the permit via the Host Compliance portal and update the information.  Please note there is a $50 responsible agent change fee.

I recently purchased a home that has an active STR permit.  How do I get the permit switched over to my name?

All STR permits are non-transferrable.  The current permit will be closed when the purchase of the home is finaled and a new permit will need to be submitted by the new owner.
