Passaic County has no ordinance on parking oversized vehicles at homes or on streets. Municipalities regulate this through their zoning and parking codes, often barring large RVs, box trucks, and trailers from front yards and overnight street parking.
Parking of oversized vehicles, big RVs, box trucks, buses, and large trailers, is governed municipally across Passaic County under the Municipal Land Use Law and Title 39, not by any county rule. Towns typically address oversized vehicles through gross-vehicle-weight thresholds, length limits, and zoning restrictions that keep them out of front yards and driveways, allowing storage only in side or rear yards, as Wayne Township does for recreational trailers and similar vehicles. Some municipalities also prohibit overnight on-street parking of oversized or commercial vehicles in residential districts, as Paterson does. Because weight and size thresholds vary from borough to township to city, a resident should confirm the definition of an oversized vehicle in their own municipal code and note that
Municipal code or parking enforcement issues violations under the local ordinance, with fines set by the town and possible towing. The County does not regulate or ticket oversized-vehicle parking; its road jurisdiction is limited to access and road-work permits.
