Teaneck Township requires rental property registration through the Building Department, and short-term rentals must comply with general residential rental licensing under Chapter 33.
Under Teaneck's Code Chapter 33 (Property Maintenance) and zoning regulations, all rental dwellings must be registered and inspected by the Township. Short-term rentals through platforms like Airbnb or VRBO are subject to the same registration, inspection, and Certificate of Occupancy requirements as long-term rentals. The Township's residential zoning districts generally do not list transient lodging as a permitted use, meaning STRs may be restricted in single-family zones. Operators should contact the Building Department before listing.
Operating an unregistered rental can result in summons, fines per day of violation, and stop-work or cease-and-desist orders.
