All residential rental properties in Long Beach Township, regardless of duration, must obtain an annual Rental Certificate of Occupancy. This process requires an application, a $125 fee, and a mandatory safety inspection. While the township does not limit the number of rental nights, all stays under 90 days are subject to state-level sales and occupancy taxes, which are typically handled by rental platforms.
To host an Airbnb in Long Beach Township, you must get an annual 'Rental Certificate of Occupancy' for your property. This involves submitting an application, paying a $125 fee, and passing a safety inspection every year. The inspector will check for things like smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and will determine your maximum guest count. While there's no limit on how many nights you can rent, be aware that state taxes (11.625%) apply to all stays under 90 days, though Airbnb will handle collecting these for you.
