There is no Middlesex County short-term rental registry. Any registration requirement comes from the host's municipality, while New Jersey requires tax registration through the Division of Taxation for accommodations not booked via a collecting marketplace.
Middlesex County does not maintain a short-term rental registration program. Where registration exists, it is imposed by the individual town, so hosts must ask their municipal clerk whether New Brunswick, Perth Amboy, or another local government requires a rental registration certificate. Separately, New Jersey tax law treats short stays as transient accommodations: a host renting a professionally managed unit not booked through a transient space marketplace must register with the Division of Taxation to collect and remit the required taxes. When a marketplace such as Airbnb handles the booking and payment, the marketplace registers and collects on the host's behalf.
Failure to register with the Division of Taxation when required can result in state tax assessments, interest, and penalties.
