Hackensack zoning Chapter 175 sets minimum off-street parking requirements for residential properties, generally requiring two spaces per dwelling unit. Short-term rental guest parking must remain on-property and follow citywide overnight street rules.
The Hackensack zoning chapter requires residential dwelling units to provide a minimum of two off-street parking spaces, with additional capacity needed for accessory uses like home occupations. Short-term rentals housing more than the typical family load may exceed available driveway capacity, creating compliance issues. Overnight street parking in Hackensack requires permits in many residential zones, and unregistered guest vehicles are subject to ticketing and towing. Commercial vehicle parking is prohibited overnight in residential zones under Chapter 165 (Vehicles and Traffic). Hosts should clearly disclose available spaces and any street parking restrictions in listing descriptions.
Illegal street parking can result in tickets ranging from $35 to $100 per violation, plus towing fees averaging $150 to $300.
