Hudson County cities are strict about on-street parking. Jersey City requires a $15/year resident zone permit (visitor passes $5/24hr). Hoboken requires permits after 9 PM in permit zones ($61/year first vehicle). Union City has similar residential permit zones. Enforcement runs 24/7.
Jersey City (Chapter 332) operates Residential Zone Parking and requires zone permits to park longer than 2 hours in marked zones — $15/year for residents (24-hour access in their zone), $300/year for nonresident workers, and $5 per 24-hour visitor pass. Hoboken (Chapter 141A) enforces overnight permit-only rules after 9 PM across most of the city; Resident Permit is $61/year for the first vehicle, $122 for the second, $243 for each additional (seniors/veterans/disabled get 50% off). Hoboken also offers Virtual Visitor Permits and a discounted overnight municipal garage rate ($6 6pm-8am). Union City maintains a resident permit parking program with similar price points. All three cities ticket for unauthorized overnight parking, street-sweeping violations, and fire-lane parking with aggressive enforcement. Snow emergency declarations trigger additional side-of-street bans.
Typical parking ticket: $41 Jersey City, $50+ Hoboken (higher at meters and bus stops). Street-sweeping violations: $45-$75. Vehicles parked without permit in resident zones: $50+ and subject to tow. Towing and storage: roughly $175 hookup plus $30-$40/day storage. Repeat offenders: booting or impound.
