There is no Passaic County short-term rental registry. Registration, where required, is done at the municipal level. West Milford (Passaic County) requires owners to register and obtain a permit before operating a short-term rental under Township Code § 285-13.
New Jersey has no statewide STR registration mandate and Passaic County keeps no county registry. Any registration requirement is created by local ordinance under home-rule powers. West Milford Township requires owners to apply for and hold a short-term rental permit, provide a responsible local party who is a New Jersey resident able to accept legal process, and submit to periodic site inspection. Towns without an STR ordinance impose no registration at all. Separately, every operator whose rental is booked through a marketplace (Airbnb, Vrbo) or is professionally managed must register with the New Jersey Division of Taxation to collect state occupancy taxes.
Registration penalties are set by each town. In West Milford, operating a short-term rental contrary to § 285-13 is unlawful and can trigger fines and suspension or revocation of the permit. State tax-registration failures are enforced separately by the NJ
