Essex County sets no countywide RV or boat parking rule for residential streets or driveways. Those limits are set by each of the 22 municipalities plus NJ Title 39. The county only governs park grounds and county roads.
New Jersey delegates on-street and residential parking regulation to municipalities under N.J.S.A. 39:4-8 and Title 39. Where you may store a recreational vehicle, camper, trailer, or boat on your street or property in Essex County depends on the ordinance of your specific town (Newark, East Orange, Montclair, Bloomfield, Irvington, and others), not a county rule. On county park grounds, Essex County requires all vehicles to park only in designated areas, and parks close at 10:00 p.m., so overnight RV or boat storage on park property is prohibited.
Municipal tickets vary by town, commonly $25 to $100 plus possible towing for RVs stored on streets or in yards where prohibited.
