Research notes
Use-class preemption. Applies uniformly to cities, villages, townships, and counties (one of few truly statewide zoning preemptions in Ohio). Type B = 1–6 children (with restrictions on under-2-year-olds) in caregiver's personal residence, whether ODCY-licensed or not. Type A homes (7–12 children, licensed facilities) are NOT covered. Any local ordinance still requiring special exception for Type B homes is legally unenforceable post Jan 2025.
