What New Jersey residents need to know

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed a bill into law imposing the same lodging taxes on short-term rentals that hotels and motels pay.

Operators of short-term rentals booked through booking sites such as Airbnb or HomeAway will be required to add these taxes to guests’ bills and remit them to tax authorities.

Operators of short-term rentals need to collect and file:

    • New Jersey state sales tax (6.625%)
    • New Jersey state occupancy tax (5.0%)—May be lower than 5% if certain local taxes apply
    • Any local city taxes
