10 rules for unincorporated Morris County, New Jersey.
Verified from official government sources
Morris County sets no RV or boat parking rule. Where you may keep a recreational vehicle, camper, or boat is decided by your municipality's zoning ordinance. Many Morris towns, like Parsippany-Troy Hills, bar RV and boat storage in front yards.
Morris County does not regulate residential driveways. Driveway width, surfacing, curb cuts, and how many vehicles you may keep are municipal zoning matters. County road access permits apply only where a driveway meets a county road.
Morris County sets no rule on parking commercial or heavy vehicles at homes. Each municipality decides. Many Morris towns, such as Parsippany-Troy Hills, cap how large a commercial vehicle may be parked on a residential lot.
Street parking is regulated by your municipality, not Morris County. Towns like Morristown run residential permit/sticker zones and set time limits. On county roads, general N.J. Title 39 motor-vehicle rules apply.
There is no countywide overnight-parking ban. Rules are municipal. Some Morris towns restrict overnight on-street parking to residential permit holders; others allow it. Morris County parks close at sunset, so overnight parking in county parks is not permitted.

Parks close at sunset or as otherwise posted or announced.
Morris County does not set EV-charging parking rules for homes. New Jersey requires municipalities to permit EV chargers and 'Make-Ready' parking as-of-right under the statewide EV law (P.L. 2021, c.171). Local zoning implements those standards.
New Jersey state law governs abandoned vehicles. A vehicle left in the same public location for at least three consecutive days may be deemed abandoned. Report abandoned vehicles to your local police; removal follows N.J.S.A. 39:10A and 39:4-56.6.
N.J.S.A. 39:10A / NJ MVC guidance
A vehicle is considered abandoned if it has been in the same public location for at least three consecutive days.
Morris County does not regulate curb markings on local streets. Painting curbs (no-parking yellow, fire zones, loading) is done by your municipality under Title 39. Residents may not paint public curbs; only the town may designate and mark restrictions.
Loading zones are designated and enforced by your municipality, not Morris County. Towns like Morristown post loading zones downtown and enforce them through the local parking authority and police. County roads follow state Title 39 rules.
Morris County has no oversized-vehicle parking rule. Weight and size limits for parking large trucks, buses, or trailers on residential streets are municipal. Parsippany-Troy Hills, for example, restricts vehicles over four tons GVWR in the street right-of-way.
