Bergen County prohibits recreational drone takeoff and landing in county parks without permission. Federal FAA Part 107 and recreational rules apply countywide, including registration of drones over 0.55 pounds and altitude limits of 400 feet AGL.
Recreational drone operation in Bergen County is governed by Federal Aviation Administration rules under 49 U.S.C. 44809 and the New Jersey law N.J.S.A. 2C:40-27, which prohibits drone use that interferes with first responders or violates restraining orders. The Bergen County Department of Parks restricts drone takeoff, landing, and operation in county parks unless authorized by permit. Operators must pass The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST), register drones over 0.55 pounds with the FAA, fly only within visual line of sight, stay below 400 feet, and avoid flying near Teterboro Airport's Class D airspace, which covers significant portions of southern Bergen County.
FAA violations carry civil penalties up to $27,500. Operating in restricted county parks results in citations of $100 to $500 plus possible equipment seizure.
