No STR ordinanceMontclair has no short-term rental ordinance: a full text search of the municipal code finds no short-term rental or vacation rental provisions, so rentals are neither licensed nor prohibited by local code. Lodging taxes under Chapter 3.32 apply to stays of 30 consecutive days or less; the exact rate line has not been read again from the code.
