Toms River, NJ Short-Term Rentals: Taxes & Fees (2026)

Short-term and seasonal rentals in Toms River Township register under the same fee schedule as other rental units: a $150 registration-and-inspection fee, a $50 fee for an amended registration, and a $50 reinspection fee, seasonal/short-term units are reinspected annually by April 30. A fee not paid within 30 days of its due date draws an added $35 late charge. The Township ordinance does not impose its own hotel-style occupancy tax; short-term rental operators separately owe New Jersey's state sales tax and state occupancy fee under state tax law, administered by the state, not the Township.
