Hackensack restricts where recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, and campers may be parked or stored within city limits. Storage on residential streets and front yards is prohibited, with exceptions for active loading.
Under Hackensack's parking regulations in Chapter 280, recreational vehicles, boats, boat trailers, campers, and similar non-passenger vehicles cannot be stored on public streets. Residents may park such vehicles on private property, but typically only in side or rear yards behind required setback lines, and never in front yards visible from the street. Active loading or unloading is generally permitted for short durations, often up to 24 or 48 hours. Vehicles must remain in operable condition with current registration. Long-term storage on residential streets violates the city's parking rules and can result in tickets and towing.
Violations may result in parking tickets, mandatory removal, fines escalating with repeat offenses, and towing at the owner's expense.
