Logan County Commissioners Approve Lodging Tax Amendment to Include STRs

6/30/2025

Logan County, Ohio, Commissioners approved an amendment to the county’s lodging tax legislation, which expands the collection of the existing 3% county lodging tax to now include short-term rental properties. This update modernizes the definition of a hotel in Logan County, which, according to data from AirDNA, has more than 300 short-term rentals actively marketed in 2025, compared to less than 10 short-term rentals actively marketed in 2014. Logan County has levied a lodging tax on transient guests staying in local hotels since 1989. The newly approved amendment expands its scope from only applying to lodging establishments containing five or more rooms (traditional hotels) to include all lodging establishments.
