Market Overview

This profile reflects the Northern Ohio STR market, a regional series that Huron shares with Akron, Millersburg and Geneva, so the performance figures describe the wider region rather than Huron alone. As of September 2026, the Northern Ohio STR market averages an ADR of $201, occupancy of 53.1% and monthly revenue of $2,951 per listing. Entire home ADR is $212, and luxury listings reach $391. Year over year, occupancy is up 12.3%, ADR is up 5.0% and revenue is up 14.8%, so the gain comes from both more booked nights and higher rates. Annual revenue from the seasonal profile sums to $27,874. Bedroom, channel and listing-type counts and top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Huron, so this profile omits them. Huron itself is a small Lake Erie waterfront town of 6,630 residents on an 8-mile stretch of the lake’s south shore, and it draws more than 150,000 visitors a year according to the local Chamber of Commerce. Local draws include Nickel Plate Beach, the Huron Lighthouse and Pier, the Huron Boat Basin and Amphitheater, and the Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve. Boaters, anglers, golfers and beach visitors drive demand, and the town works as a quieter base near Cedar Point and Sandusky. Tourism is strongly seasonal and peaks in summer. The most important fact for investors is regulatory: Huron reached its cap on transient rental certificates in 2022 and is not accepting new applications, so entry is by wait list only. Year to date through September, the region shows 54.4% occupancy, a $189 ADR and $2,873 average monthly revenue, compared with 52.3%, $178 and $2,650 for full year 2025.

Short-Term Rental Regulations

Short-term rentals are permitted in Huron, but the market is effectively closed to new operators. The City runs a Transient Rental Program under Chapter 1369. Any property rented to transient guests for more than a combined 30 days in a calendar year needs a Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate. The City reached its cap on certificates in 2022 and is no longer accepting new applications. Prospective operators can join a wait list, and there is no guarantee of a number. The certificate costs $400 per unit annually, includes one inspection, is valid for 12 months and must be renewed at least 3 weeks before expiration with updated insurance. Rentals are allowed only in Residential Zoning Districts and must satisfy HOA declarations, an off-street parking plan and a valid insurance certificate. The Huron Fire Department began inspections in late March 2026, covering electrical, utilities, fire code and building code. A failed inspection allows a 30 day correction window and a $50 re-inspection fee. A $50 transfer fee applies when a property is sold. Lodging tax totals 7%, made up of Erie County’s 4% and the City’s 3%, both collected by Erie County through the LocalGov portal. Owners must also register with the Erie County Auditor within 30 days of starting, and the City sends no reminder notices. Enforcement is rated strict.

Market Comparison

The Northern Ohio STR market runs at 53.1% occupancy and a $201 ADR as of September 2026. Year over year growth is strong: occupancy is up 12.3% and revenue is up 14.8%. Peak performance is notable. July reaches 66.3% occupancy at $211, and luxury listings average $391. The winter trough of 40.1% occupancy in January is the weak point, so annual results depend on the summer months. Top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Huron, so this profile omits them. For investors, the market’s performance must be weighed against Huron’s closed certificate cap, which limits supply growth for current permit holders and blocks new entrants.
