Asbury Park requires a Short-Term Rental Permit under Section 13-1300 for rentals of 30 days or less, up to 180 days per year. First-year fee is $500, renewals $100. Must be owner's primary residence with proof via tax return, ID, and bank statement. Only 23 of 226 listings were compliant as of 2023.
Asbury Park's STR ordinance (Section 13-1300) was enacted in February 2020 following a lawsuit challenging the city's prior total ban on short-term rentals. STR is defined as renting property for 30 days or less, up to 180 cumulative days per calendar year. Five classifications of properties are eligible. Owners must first obtain Zoning Compliance ($20 fee) from Planning & Redevelopment, then apply for an STR Permit from Code Enforcement ($500 first year, $100 renewal). Primary residency must be proven with three documents: driver's license, front page of federal 1040 tax return, and bank statement within 3 months. An Occupant Change Form is required for each guest so emergency personnel know who occupies the property. General liability insurance is required. The city uses enforcement software to monitor listings. STR of ADUs is not permitted.
Operating without permit: up to $2,000 per day, each day a separate violation. Active monitoring and enforcement via software.
