Can I Airbnb in Trenton, NJ? (2026)

Trenton allows short-term rentals (stays under 30 consecutive days) citywide, but every unit must be registered annually on the city's Short-Term Rental Registry through the Department of Inspections before it can be offered or advertised. Registration costs $300 initially with a $150 annual renewal, requires proof of property liability insurance and a floor plan, and the registration number must appear on all listings. Fines run $100-$300 per day per violation, and units with three or more violations in six months become ineligible.

What’s required: a Short-Term Rental Registry registration (Department of Inspections) ($300) is required; occupancy taxes apply; renew annual.
