West New York, NJ Parking Rules: Preferential Parking Districts (2026)

The Residential Permit Parking program was adopted 4-15-2009 as Ord. No. 9/09 and amended in its entirety 9-23-2020 by Ord. No. 20/20. The West New York Parking Services Utility runs it, and § 277-34 gives enforcement to the Utility and the West New York Police Department. Zones are designated by Board of Commissioners resolution under § 277-23, but § 277-35 C already includes all of the streets within the Town in the program. Streets under State of New Jersey jurisdiction are named only for boundary descriptions, and the Controlled Waterfront Development streets are subject to enforcement pending a Memorandum of Agreement with the redeveloper.

Under § 277-24 A, permit parking hours are in effect 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Any vehicle gets up to a three-hour limit without a permit, excluding holidays; staying longer in a nonmetered space within a twenty-four-hour period requires a daily visitor parking permit. Metered spaces stay open to every vehicle during meter hours, and a resident permit does not excuse paying the meter. Two municipal lots, 6105 Van Buren Place and 6301 Bergenline Avenue, are enforceable from 10:00 PM until 9:00 AM.

Permits are sold by type under § 277-26. A resident's first vehicle costs $15 for a one-year period, the second $25, the third $50, and the fourth vehicle and above $100 for each permit. Passenger commercial vehicles pay $50 for one year. Business and employee permits cost $30 for six months or $60 per year and can be used for 10 hours maximum in a twenty-four-hour period between 5:00 a.m. and 12:00 midnight. Out-of-state permits cost $50 for three months, and caretaker permits cost $15 per year. Visitor permits under § 277-27 are $4 daily, $15 weekly and $50 monthly, limited to at most two monthly permits per household at a time.

Buyers must show three forms of identification with a West New York address under § 277-29 B, and any permit is valid throughout the Town regardless of the zone it was issued for (§ 277-25). Under § 277-32 the Utility can exempt service and commercial vehicles for a period not to exceed eight consecutive hours when residents call with 24 to 48 hours of notice.
