Paramus FAQ

Can my Airbnb guest park overnight on the street in Paramus?

No. Paramus prohibits on-street parking on any Borough street between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. The borough's overnight permit program is reserved for residents who can show that household drivers exceed available driveway and garage spaces, and permits are not issued to short-term guests. Beyond the parking issue, the underlying short-term rental is itself prohibited under Chapter 322 Article II.

Are there off-street parking requirements specific to STRs in Paramus?

No. Because Paramus does not allow short-term rentals as a use, there is no dedicated STR parking standard. Off-street parking requirements for dwellings are set by the Zoning Code (Chapter 429), based on the residential principal use. Any guest-parking demand at a 30-day-or-less rental is treated as evidence of a Chapter 322 Article II violation, with a maximum civil fine of $1,250 per adjudicated offense.
