Morris County sets no annual night cap. Any limit on rental days is municipal. Notably, several Morris County towns effectively cap short stays by prohibiting rentals under a set term, such as Morris Township, which bars most rentals of fewer than 14 days.
New Jersey counties do not cap the number of nights a short-term rental may operate; that is a municipal choice under the Municipal Land Use Law. Rather than an annual night limit, some Morris County towns impose a minimum-stay floor. Morris Township's Chapter 417 makes it unlawful to let a dwelling 'for a period or term of less than fourteen (14) days' to someone whose permanent residence is elsewhere, and separately bars advertising such rentals. The practical effect is that true short-term rentals are prohibited there. Where a town permits STRs, check whether it caps annual rental days or sets a minimum stay. Morris County itself imposes neither.
Minimum-stay or day-cap limits are enforced by the municipality. In Morris Township a violation is a nuisance per se carrying the Chapter 1, Section 1-3 fine, with each day a separate offense.
