Matawan Regulations
Short‑term rentals are allowed with a straightforward, two‑step process: $250 rental registration and a $110–$160 CCO inspection (plus any re‑inspection). No separate STR ordinance, no night caps or strict zone limits—just zoning/occupancy compliance and standard fire/life‑safety requirements. Moderate permitting, clear process, and typical enforcement (with annual occupant reporting) make it manageable rather than prohibitive.

About Matawan
Matawan is a borough in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. A historic community located near the Raritan Bay in the much larger Raritan Valley region, the borough is a commuter town of New York City within the New York Metropolitan Area. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 9,565, an increase of 755 (+8.6%) from the 2010 census count of 8,810, which in turn reflected a decline of 100 (−1.1%) from the 8,910 counted in the 2000 census.Matawan was part of the Bayshore Regional Strategic Plan, an effort by nine municipalities in northern Monmouth County to reinvigorate the area's economy by emphasizing the traditional downtowns, dense residential neighborhoods, maritime history, and the natural beauty of the Raritan Bayshore coastline. The plan has since been integrated into the 2016 Monmouth County Master Plan. Matawan is a part of the New Jersey Transit Village Initiative, a type of residential-focused transit-oriented development focused around the Aberdeen-Matawan train station.
