Middlesex County levies no STR tax. New Jersey applies 6.625% Sales Tax plus a 5% State Occupancy Fee to transient accommodations, and towns may add a Municipal Occupancy Tax; marketplaces like Airbnb collect these on bookings.
There is no Middlesex County short-term rental tax. New Jersey imposes statewide Sales Tax of 6.625% and a 5% State Occupancy Fee on transient accommodations, which are stays of under 90 consecutive days obtained through a transient space marketplace or offered as a professionally managed unit. Under N.J.S.A. 40:48E, municipalities may adopt a Municipal Occupancy Tax of up to 3% on the same rentals. When a booking runs through a marketplace such as Airbnb, the marketplace collects and remits these taxes and fees; otherwise the host must register with the Division of Taxation and remit them directly.
Not collecting or remitting the Sales Tax and State Occupancy Fee when required exposes the host to state assessments, interest, and penalties.
