A new law in the State of New Jersey charges applicable sales and use tax on short term rentals booked through “transient marketplaces” such as Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO, and FlipKey.
Vacation rentals arranged through a real estate broker’s office are purposely excluded, and the new tax will not apply.

A clarification on the State of New Jersey and Borough of Avalon/ Borough of Stone Harbor fire inspection code:
1) No changes to the code for properties with hardwired detectors. Â Hardwired smoke detectors must be less than 10 years old.
2) The change applies to properties with stand alone battery operated smoke detectors. Â Those units MUST be swapped out with new detectors that have a 10 year sealed battery. Â Even if the current battery operated detectors were replaced with the past few years, property owners are required to comply with the new code.
A note on my January calendar reminds me that I have worked for Tim Kerr’s real estate company for 16 years. Â That was fast!
Early in my career, I was with Diller & Fisher for 15 years when they had an office at 31st and Dune Drive.
And then I worked for 3+ years at Avalon Real Estate Agency (now Long & Foster) at 30th and Dune Drive.
Now…I’m all the way north on 29th and Dune Drive!
Yes, there is a connection.
Once the Eagles’ season wraps up, our summer tenants start to think about their shore vacation!

Picture from our snowy Winter of 2018:
I took a “lunch break” walk from my office to check out the beaches after the weekend storm…and watched a few surfers taking advantage of the BIG waves at 10th Street!
Some minor erosion at the north end, causing the 11th Street path to be temporarily fenced off on the beach side. Â From 10th Street north to the jetty, and again from 12th Street south, all beach paths are open. Â And the dunes remain in great shape.
Pictures:
The inlet, 11th Street path, 12th Street looking north, 18th Street looking north, and 18th Street looking south:
The forecast calls for the first shore snow day of the winter.
Will post pictures from the beach tomorrow morning before work.
