SERVING LEONIA
Owner-present short-term rental stewardship in Leonia
Leonia permits short-term rentals under Ordinance 2025-23, but only owner-present, registered, and inside firm annual caps. We help owners operate within those lines without the stress.
WHY OWNERS CHOOSE US
What Leonia owners get with Palisade
Borough know-how
We steward homes across the Bergen County palisade towns and understand Leonia's quiet, residential character and its easy reach to the GW Bridge and NYC. That shapes how we position and care for your property.
Built around Ordinance 2025-23
Leonia requires a $500 annual registration with a borough safety re-inspection and proof of insurance, and the owner must be present during any rental. No single tenant may stay more than 30 consecutive days, and total activity is capped at 90 days per year across no more than 15 separate rentals. We build your calendar and paperwork around those rules and confirm zoning eligibility with the Borough Clerk.
Operated calmly, within the caps
Every stay is priced, prepared, and hosted to one standard, tracked against the annual limits. When the caps are reached, we help owners move to compliant 30-plus-night furnished stays so the home keeps earning.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions from Leonia owners
Are short-term rentals legal in Leonia?
Yes, but under real constraints. Leonia permits owner-present short-term rentals through Ordinance 2025-23, with a paid registration and inspection. They are allowed under limits, not freely.
What are the rules and caps?
A $500 annual registration is required, covering a borough safety re-inspection, along with proof of proper insurance. You must be the owner and present during any rental period. No single tenant may stay more than 30 consecutive days, and total activity is capped at 90 days per year across no more than 15 separate rentals. A separate occupancy-tax ordinance also applies. We confirm the current requirements and your zoning eligibility with the Borough before you commit.
What happens once I hit the 90-day cap?
The compliant path beyond the annual limit is stays of more than 30 days. We help Leonia owners run furnished mid-term rentals for the remainder of the year so the property keeps generating income within the rules.
