There is no Morris County short-term rental registry. Registration is set by each municipality. Separately, every town in New Jersey must report the names and addresses of transient accommodations to the state Division of Taxation by January 1 each year.
Morris County keeps no countywide STR registry; whether you must register is decided by your municipality under home-rule authority. Some Morris County towns require an annual rental license and inspection, others (like Morris Township) instead prohibit stays under 14 days. Separately, DLGS Local Finance Notice 2026-09 confirms that by January 1 each year every municipality must send the Division of Taxation 'the names and addresses of all transient accommodations, along with hotels and motels, located in the municipality.' Marketplaces such as Airbnb must keep booking records (host name, address, dates, rates, listing URL) for four years. Confirm registration steps with your town clerk.
Failure to register where a town requires it is enforced by that municipality's ordinance penalties. State-level reporting duties fall on the municipality and, for tax data, on the marketplace, not the individual host.
