At its July 25 agenda meeting, the Beach Haven Borough Council adopted an ordinance that would implement a 3% transient accommodation occupancy tax conveyed by any online marketplaces.

The borough already has occupancy taxes for hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts. The new ordinance would include entities such as Airbnb Inc., an American company operating an online marketplace for short- and long-term stays. People renting directly through an owner and not a third party would not be charged.
