Ask Fort Lee Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.

Use the Fort Lee parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
