Fri, 05 Jun 2026 22:16:30 GMT https://regulations.comparent.com/regulations/new-jersey/jersey-city/ Jersey City expanded its STR enforcement program in 2023, entering into data-sharing agreements with booking platforms and adding dedicated STR inspectors. The city cross-references platform listing addresses against its owner-occupancy records and has issued hundreds of cease-and-desist letters to non-compliant operators. Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 GMT new-jersey-jersey-city-2023-07-01 https://regulations.comparent.com/regulations/new-jersey/jersey-city/ In limited zones where non-primary-residence STRs are permitted, Jersey City caps annual rentals at 60 days per calendar year. This effectively limits the commercial viability of investment-property STRs in the few areas where they remain legally available. Operators must maintain records of rental dates and make them available upon city inspection. Wed, 01 Jun 2022 00:00:00 GMT new-jersey-jersey-city-2022-06-01 https://regulations.comparent.com/regulations/new-jersey/jersey-city/ Jersey City originally passed its STR ordinance requiring owner-occupancy in 2019, following a high-profile ballot referendum in which voters approved restrictions on investor-owned STRs. The ordinance has been expanded in scope and enforcement since its original passage. Hosts in most residential zones must reside in the property as their primary home to legally operate an STR.
