Essex County has no short-term rental parking rule. Parking requirements for STRs are set by municipal ordinances; Newark requires applicants to detail parking and commit to minimizing on-street parking impacts.
The county imposes no parking standard on short-term rentals. Parking is governed by each municipality's zoning and STR ordinance. In Newark, the short-term rental application must detail parking specifications and include a commitment to minimize on-street parking issues in the neighborhood, and the city may weigh available off-street parking when reviewing a permit. Other Essex towns fold STRs into their general residential parking and zoning requirements, which can require a set number of off-street spaces per dwelling unit. Because dense urban blocks in places like Newark, East Orange and Irvington have limited curb space, hosts should verify their municipality's off-street parking expectation before listing a unit.
Parking violations tied to a short-term rental are enforced under the municipality's STR and traffic ordinances, which can include fines, permit conditions, and in Newark penalties up to $2,000 per violation per day.
