In December of 2023, Chapter 118 – Short-Term Residential (STR) Dwelling ordinance was passed by the Village Board. Per this ordinance, no person may own or operate an STR within a residential dwelling without a Village of Egg Harbor issued STR License. All STR licenses are effective for 12 months with the term beginning on July 1 and terminating on June 30 of the following year. You must apply/renew a license each year and submit the associated fee of $250.
Registered Agent
If you do not live within 75 miles of the STR, you must have a registered agent that is able to respond to any issues with the property. There are two forms required for a registered agent, the registered agent registration form as well as a signed agreement and/or contract between the owner and the registered agent. Links to both forms are below.
* NEW for 2026 * The mobile STR permitting site has changed.
Please review the User Guide before starting to get an understanding of the new system.
