Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are permitted along the Jersey Shore, but New Jersey has no statewide STR preemption law. Each municipality sets its own rules and keeps full authority to restrict or ban rentals, so requirements differ from town to town. Enforcement severity is rated moderate.
A permit or license is required. The type varies by municipality and can be an annual rental license, a mercantile license or a short-term rental property license. Permits renew annually. On Long Beach Island, rental registration is required in all six boroughs, and Beach Haven is one of them. Permit cost is not published in the data used here, so confirm the fee with the borough.
Owner occupancy and primary residence are not required in the data reviewed, though investors should check local ordinances before buying.
Taxes are significant. When bookings go through a marketplace such as Airbnb or VRBO, the standard combined rate in most shore towns is about 11.63%, made up of 6.625% New Jersey sales tax and a 5% state occupancy fee. Beach Haven also levies a 7% municipal occupancy tax. Direct owner rentals not booked through a marketplace, with fewer than three units, have been exempt from New Jersey state taxes since August 9, 2019.
Recent changes have happened in other shore towns, including a moratorium and a platform tax in Ocean City and amended ordinances in Asbury Park. Rules can change quickly, so verify current Beach Haven requirements before purchase.
