Assumptions used

  • Cleveland transient STR stay: The modeled stay is 1 through 29 nights and is lodging furnished to a transient guest within Cleveland and Cuyahoga County.

What may change the final amount

  • Ohio state sales-tax hotel definition. Ohio state sales tax is included only when the accommodation is a state-law hotel under §5739.01; the calculator does not silently add the 5.75% state line to every one-unit residential STR.
  • Built-in lodging fees and collection duties. Cleveland includes consideration and built-in advertised fees in its local transaction price; separately stated services and collection arrangements require the official local rules to be checked.
  • Source-backed scope note. The City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County official pages provide accessible primary evidence for the 3% city and 6.5% county transient lodging layers; Ohio’s 5.75% state sales tax remains a factor because the state hotel definition is property-specific.
