Summary
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.
Full Breakdown
Overnight on-street parking is governed by each municipality, not Morris County. Morristown, for instance, limits certain residential streets to permit/sticker parking during evening and overnight hours; other towns allow overnight parking or require a call-in. Check your municipal parking ordinance and posted signs. Separately, in Morris County Park Commission parks, the published rules state parks close at sunset, so vehicles must be removed and overnight parking is not allowed in county park lots.
Violations & Fines
Overnight violations on town streets bring a municipal summons; parking in a closed county park after hours is enforced by the Park Commission and county sheriff.
