Street parking in Hudson County is regulated by the county on county-owned roads and by individual municipalities on local roads. Hudson County maintains certain county roads (County Road system) where the county sets parking rules. The densely urban municipalities within the county extensively regulate street parking through residential permit zones, street cleaning rules, and time limits.
Hudson County's Department of Roads and Public Property manages county-designated roads where the county may establish parking regulations, no-parking zones, and enforcement. Most residential and commercial street parking, however, is regulated by municipal ordinances. All 12 municipalities in Hudson County have extensive street parking regulations due to the county's extreme density. Residential permit parking zones (RPZ) are common in Jersey City, Hoboken, and other municipalities. Residents typically need municipal parking permits to park on their block overnight or for extended periods. County road parking enforcement is handled by Hudson County Sheriff's Office on county roads. Contact the Hudson County Dept. of Roads at (201) 795-6200.
