Short-term rental rules in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ
How Point Pleasant Beach regulates short-term rentals: the rules that apply, their sources, and pending changes.
Short-term rentals here operate under a registration or permit system with ongoing operating rules.
- STR-specific regime: 1-week min-stay in summer (May 15–Sep 30), 1-month off-season (non-foreclosing — summer weekly whole-home permitted)
- Rental license + Certificate of Occupancy required
Based on: Borough Code Ch. 13 (Housing) § 13-14 'Duration of Rentals' / § 13-14.2 'Short Term Rentals'; Ordinance No. 2024-32B
Summary of the rule
§13-14.2 Short-Term Rentals (Ord. 2024-32B): an STR-specific regime requiring an STR to be rented for a minimum of one (1) week from May 15–September 30 and one (1) month during other periods; owner-occupied units in multiunit dwellings are exempt from the duration floor. The summer 1-WEEK minimum is NON-FORECLOSING — absentee whole-home weekly rentals (the core Jersey Shore vacation-rental use) remain permitted — so this is a Regulated STR process, not a foreclosing supply device. Rental license + Certificate of Occupancy (§13-14.1(c)) also apply.

City Watch tracks changes from public sources — council agendas, state bills, local news — not a complete legal compendium.
A city permit is not the whole picture — HOA, condominium, deed, or lease rules may be stricter.
City Watch provides good-faith summaries of publicly available information as of the review date shown. Rules, enforcement, and permit availability can change, and summaries may contain errors or omissions. Ratings describe the general regulatory environment; they do not establish whether a particular property or stay is permitted. This is general information, not legal advice. Before buying, listing, or hosting, verify applicable requirements with the responsible authorities and review any HOA, condominium, deed, or lease restrictions.
