No. Galloway does not limit short-term rentals to a host's primary residence. Non-owner-occupied rentals are allowed but must be registered under Chapter 276 and comply with zoning for the use.
Galloway Township imposes no primary-residence requirement for renting a dwelling short term. In fact, Chapter 276 is aimed at non-owner-occupied rentals and exempts owner-occupied two-unit premises from the rental-unit definition. Investors may rent a property they do not live in, provided the unit is registered, passes the certificate-of-occupancy inspection, and the short-term use is permitted by the zoning/land-development ordinance for that district. Hosts should confirm with Community Development that transient rental is an allowed use before operating.
Operating an unregistered non-owner-occupied rental violates Chapter 276; fines reach $2,000 per violation with each unit and day separate, plus possible zoning enforcement.
