Fair Lawn imposes annual rental registration fees and inspection fees on dwelling units offered for rent, which apply in addition to New Jersey state sales and occupancy taxes on transient stays.
The borough's rental property chapter sets registration and reinspection fees collected by the Borough Clerk and Building Department. These fees fund the rental inspection program and are due at initial registration and on annual renewal. New Jersey separately imposes state sales tax and the State Occupancy Fee on transient accommodations under 90 days, which hosts or platforms must collect. Fair Lawn does not impose its own additional municipal occupancy tax beyond state requirements but does enforce its local registration fees strictly.
Unpaid registration or inspection fees can result in denial or revocation of the Certificate of Occupancy, summonses, and per-day fines until the balance is paid.
