Parking Rules: Edison vs Perth Amboy

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.

Does Perth Amboy require off-street parking for each STR guest?

Ord. 2169-2024 does not state a guest-per-space ratio. Off-street parking is governed by the underlying zoning district. Confirm any current rule with Code Enforcement at (732) 826-0290.

Can STR guests use residential permit parking?

Only if the host obtains visitor permits through the Perth Amboy Parking Utility. Otherwise guests must use metered or unrestricted street parking; some downtown blocks have overnight restrictions.

What happens if a guest blocks a neighbor's driveway?

The vehicle may be ticketed and towed by PAPD. Repeated parking complaints can be cited as a basis for STR permit suspension under Ord. 2169-2024.
