Defiance Regulations
STRs are legal when allowed by zoning (often as Bed & Breakfast/lodging), requiring a Zoning Permit and Certificate of Compliance plus a state Vendor’s License for lodging taxes—moderate steps and inspections with reasonable fines (up to $500). No hard caps on total STRs or unit caps are noted; rules are clear and enforcement is predictable. The biggest drivers are the two‑permit process and the need to verify/secure a compatible zoning designation.
