Registration of short-term rentals in Essex County happens at the municipal level. The county maintains no STR registry; hosts register with the city or township and, for tax, with the New Jersey Division of Taxation.
Essex County does not operate a short-term rental registry. Any registration obligation comes from the host's municipality. Newark requires owners to register each unit and obtain a permit through the city's online portal, renewing annually. For state tax purposes, an owner offering three or more units for rent, or renting through a platform, must register with the New Jersey Division of Taxation to collect Sales Tax and the State Occupancy Fee. The Division states the rental of a transient accommodation obtained directly from the owner is no longer subject to those taxes unless it is a professionally managed unit, defined as one offered by a person renting three or more units during the calendar year.
Failing to register where a municipality requires it can bar a host from advertising and trigger local fines. Failing to register with the Division of Taxation when taxes apply can result in state tax assessments, interest and penalties.
