STR guests in Jersey City are subject to the same parking rules as residents. Most neighborhoods require resident parking permits for street parking beyond 2 hours. Guests are responsible for obtaining visitor permits or using paid parking. Hosts must inform guests of parking rules.
Jersey City's Chapter 332 (Vehicles and Traffic) governs parking, including the permit parking program. Most residential neighborhoods require a residential parking permit for parking more than 2 hours between 7 AM and 9 PM Monday through Friday. Resident annual permit: $15. Non-residential: $300/year. STR guests are not eligible for resident permits and must use paid lots/garages or purchase visitor permits. Permit Parking Enforcement is at 394 Central Ave. Chapter 255 (STR) requires hosts to inform guests of parking restrictions. Given Jersey City's acute parking shortage, non-compliance results in summonses and potential booting.
Parking without permit in residential zone: summons. Multiple violations: vehicle booting. STR permit holder may face complaints if guests repeatedly violate parking rules.
