Passaic County does not set parking requirements for short-term rentals. Off-street parking minimums and on-street restrictions are municipal zoning matters under the Municipal Land Use Law. Check your borough or township code for guest-parking rules tied to the rental.
Parking standards for dwellings and rentals are a core municipal zoning power under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.); the county has no role except where a driveway meets a county road and needs a county access permit (N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.2). Many Passaic County towns require a set number of off-street spaces per dwelling unit and prohibit overnight on-street parking, which effectively limits how many guest cars a short-term rental can accommodate. West Milford conditions its STR permit on compliance with all township ordinances, including parking. Verify space requirements and any overnight-parking ban with your municipal zoning office.
On-street parking violations are enforced by municipal police and parking ordinances (tickets, towing). Insufficient off-street parking can block issuance of a local STR permit or zoning approval.
