Irvington, NJ Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 620-19, added in 2005 and given its escalating fine schedule in 2016, flatly prohibits keeping a boat, or a trailer used for pulling or towing a boat, in the driveway or yard of any residential property in Irvington; the section draws no distinction between a boat sitting on its own trailer, an empty boat trailer, or how long the boat has been there. The fine schedule is unusually steep for a parking rule: a first violation costs $50, a second $250, a third $500, and a fourth $1,000, and the fourth violation also triggers a mandatory Municipal Court appearance rather than allowing the fine to be paid off without one.

Because the fines climb per violation rather than per day, each separate citation, not each day the boat remains, moves a property owner up the schedule. , so a resident cannot avoid the yard-and-driveway ban on boats and boat trailers by moving the same equipment to the curb overnight. Before Irvington's 2004 reorganization of its traffic code, this rule was codified as § 139-77 of the 1981 Revised Code.
