Parsippany-Troy Hills, NJ Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Permits (2026)

The ban sits in the definitions section of the zoning chapter. A short-term rental is any dwelling unit, or portion thereof, rented by the property owner, for income-producing purposes, to a person or group for a period of less than 30 consecutive days. Because the definition reaches a portion of a dwelling, renting a single room falls inside it. The sentence "Short-term rentals shall not be permitted in any district" was added by Ord. No. 2020:07 on 3-17-2020.

The R-R Residential District repeats the point. Section 430-39B lists short-term rentals among the expressly prohibited uses, alongside kennels and boarding houses, and § 430-39A prohibits any use not specifically authorized as a permitted, accessory or conditional use. Two conditional-use sections that otherwise allow dwelling units as a conditional accessory use carve short-term rentals out by name: § 430-129 in the B-5 Local Business District and § 430-136 in the O-S Office-Service District.

No application path exists. A zoning permit under § 430-295 certifies that a use is permitted, existing as a nonconforming use, or permitted by the terms of a variance, and § 430-294 bars any permit where the proposed use would violate a provision of the chapter. A rental of 30 consecutive days or longer sits outside this definition.
