Burlington County imposes no cap on the number of nights a property can be rented short-term. Any annual night cap is a municipal choice. State law defines a short-term rental as a stay under 175 consecutive days for licensing purposes.
New Jersey sets no county or statewide limit on how many nights per year a home may be rented short-term. Municipalities may adopt annual night caps or minimum-stay rules through their STR ordinances under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D). The state framework only defines the outer boundary of a short-term rental: N.J.S.A. 40:52-1(n) lets towns license rentals 'for a term less than 175 consecutive days.' Above that term the tenancy is treated as a long-term lease and is not a taxable transient accommodation. Whether a Burlington County town further limits total rental nights per year, or sets a minimum number of nights per booking, depends on that municipality's ordinance — the county sets no such cap.
Exceeding a municipal night cap or violating a minimum-stay rule is enforced by the town under its STR ordinance, with fines and possible license loss. Burlington County imposes no night-cap penalty.
