Parking Rules: Edison vs New Brunswick

Does Edison limit how many cars an Airbnb can have?

Not directly. Edison has not codified a per-guest or per-listing parking cap. Off-street capacity is controlled by Chapter 37 (Zoning), which sets the off-street parking minimum for the dwelling type and zone (typically two spaces per single-family dwelling), and on-street parking is controlled by Chapter 7 (Traffic), which empowers the Township to designate restricted streets, weight-class limits, and overnight restrictions. Overflow guest cars that park on a restricted street face citations and tow costs.

Can my Edison Airbnb guests park their RV at the rental?

Not on a residential street. Chapter 7 (Traffic) prohibits parking of RVs, campers, recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, and buses over four tons on residential streets during the Township's restricted hours, treats the vehicle as a nuisance, and authorizes the tow at the owner's expense. An RV may be parked on the lot itself only to the extent Chapter 37 (Zoning) permits oversized vehicles in the underlying residential zone; check with the Edison Planning and Zoning Division before listing an Edison address as RV-friendly.

Do I need a parking permit to host short-term-rental guests in Edison?

No - Edison has not adopted an STR-specific parking permit. Where the dwelling is in a Township-designated residential permit zone, on-street parking is restricted to displayed-permit vehicles regardless of how the dwelling is occupied, and guests must use the off-street capacity available on the lot. Confirm with the Edison Planning and Zoning Division that the lot's Chapter 37 off-street minimum is sufficient for the maximum guest count you list.

Where can my Airbnb guests park in New Brunswick?

New Brunswick has no STR-specific parking rule, so guests rely on your private driveway or off-street spaces, public meters, or the New Brunswick Parking Authority's garages. Many streets near Rutgers are signed as residential permit zones; non-permit guest vehicles risk tickets or tow under NJSA 39:4-138. Confirm permit-zone boundaries and guest permit options with the Parking Authority at 732-545-5402.

Do I need to provide off-street parking for short-term rental guests in New Brunswick?

There is no separate STR parking minimum, but the underlying dwelling must meet the off-street parking requirement in New Brunswick's Land Development Ordinance for its zoning district. The exact spaces-per-unit figure varies by zone and unit type and should be verified with the Department of Planning, Community and Economic Development at 732-745-5050.
