JERVIS BAY TERRITORY ADMINISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
02 Do I need a Jervis Bay Territory Administration Airbnb registration or listing number? NO +
NO — No separate Jervis Bay Territory or ACT STR premises/property register identified. Scope: Jervis Bay Territory is legally distinct from the ACT, but applicable ACT laws operate there as if it formed part of the ACT. The ACT levy is a booking-service-provider tax registration, not a property register. Hosted/unhosted: No premises register. Under the applied ACT levy rules, hosted accommodation is exempt and qualifying unhosted platform bookings are taxable. Exclusions: Not applicable because there is no universal premises register. Registration number/advertising: NO STR premises registration number to display. Owner action: No premises registration. Confirm any land-use permission with Jervis Bay Territory Administration and ensure the booking service provider applies the ACT levy rules where applicable.
03 Is there a Jervis Bay Territory Administration short-stay levy or tax? YES +
YES — ACT LAW APPLIES IN JBT SO FAR AS APPLICABLE — ACT Short-Term Rental Accommodation Levy as an applied ACT law. Rate: 5% of the total booking amount; ACT rate increases to 7.5% from 1 July 2027. Effective date: ACT law effective 1 July 2025; applicable ACT laws operate in JBT under section 4A of the Jervis Bay Territory Acceptance Act 1915. Stay threshold: Bookings of not more than 28 continuous days, excluding checkout day. Bookings of 28 days or more are not subject. Taxable base: Same as ACT: accommodation and specified booking-related fees and taxes, excluding payment fees, discounts and refunded amounts. Liable party/collection: Booking service provider; direct owner/occupier bookings are not subject under the ACT law. Tax registration: Booking service provider registration, not property registration. Lodgement/payment: Quarterly; due within 30 days after quarter end. Exemptions: Same applicable ACT exclusions, including hosted accommodation and specified traditional, institutional and serviced-apartment accommodation. Future change: ACT rate increases from 5% to 7.5% on 1 July 2027.
04 Are there different rules for hosted and unhosted Airbnbs? YES +

Noise: Territory-specific. Management plan: Territory-specific. Incident / emergency: Territory-specific. Neighbour: Territory-specific. Fire / evacuation: Territory-specific building/fire rules.

JERVIS BAY TERRITORY ADMINISTRATION LEVEL
NO
STATE/TERRITORY — Annual cap: NO — No Jervis Bay Territory annual STR letting cap was identified under the applicable ACT-law framework. Hosted: No annual day cap or minimum stay identified. Hosted accommodation is outside the applied ACT levy, which is a tax distinction rather than a stay rule. Unhosted: No annual day cap or minimum stay identified. Applied ACT levy rules may affect qualifying platform bookings. Excluded bookings: Not applicable because there is no annual cap. Statewide minimum stay: NO — No universal Jervis Bay Territory minimum number of nights per booking was identified. Single-booking duration: APPLIED ACT LEVY THRESHOLD — NOT AN OPERATING MAXIMUM — Under the applied ACT levy framework, bookings of not more than 28 continuous days, excluding checkout day, are levy bookings. A booking of 28 days or more is outside the levy, not prohibited. Threshold that is not a stay limit: The 28-day figure is a levy boundary, not a minimum stay, annual cap or maximum lawful booking duration. Planning threshold that is not a cap: No territory-wide STR night threshold for planning approval identified. Exceptions/mapped areas: No mapped annual-cap areas identified. Council/property warning: Jervis Bay Territory Administration land-use approval and property-specific conditions remain separate checks. Owner action: Do not convert the ACT levy threshold into a stay restriction. Confirm land-use permission and obtain every approval condition for the JBT property. PASS 10 — VERIFIED TERRITORY ADMINISTRATION. Named authority: Jervis Bay Territory Administration. No Jervis Bay Territory-wide numeric minimum stay, maximum booking duration or annual STRA cap was identified. The applicable ACT-law levy threshold is tax classification only, not a stay limit. Commonwealth land-use approval and property-specific conditions remain mandatory. Owner action: Confirm JBT Administration land-use permission and every property/lease condition; do not substitute Shoalhaven Council rules for JBT land. Publication action: KEEP — Commonwealth Territory administration page. PASS 5 — APPROVAL-CONDITION CHECK: Cannot be answered across all Other Territories.
