To host an Airbnb in Asbury Park, you must first obtain a $300 annual permit from the City's Code Enforcement office. You are only allowed to rent your property for a total of 180 nights per year, and stays must be at least 2 nights long. Every time you have a new guest, the city technically requires a 'change of occupancy' inspection ($100 fee), though many hosts handle this via the annual permit process if stays are frequent. You must also provide proof of $500,000 in liability insurance and, if your house is older than 1978, you'll need a lead-safe certificate.
