OCEAN CITY, N.J. (WPVI) -- A Jersey Shore town is considering imposing an occupancy tax on rental units.
Ocean City Council took a first vote Thursday night on an ordinance that would create a "transient accommodations fee."
It would add a 3% tax to rentals booked through third-party services such as Airbnb.
The fee would not apply to hotels, motels or bed-and-breakfasts.
There will be a public hearing on the ordinance prior to a final vote next month.
