Residential storage location and quantity
Under §3-11-3, equipment stored outside a garage or building must be behind the front building line on a paved or stoned driveway or approved driveway extension. Only one of each covered vehicle category is permitted on a property. A boat or camping vehicle may not be occupied or used for living, sleeping, housekeeping or storage of unrelated equipment.
Two-hour street rule
Section 3-11-2 limits camping-vehicle parking on any Borough street to two hours except for qualifying repairs. Signs, snow rules, traffic restrictions and safe placement apply independently. Loading on the street is not a stated exception to this two-hour rule.
Police-authorized emergency repair
Street repair requires a Police Department permit and is available only when the vehicle cannot be moved to a garage, service station or other repair premises. The permit is valid for 48 hours and can be renewed for additional 48-hour periods for good cause as necessity requires. No one may use the vehicle as a dwelling or sleeping place during repairs; renewal remains a Police decision.
Loading and parking-facility limits
Section 3-11-3(A) contains a private-property loading/unloading exception, while §3-11-4 requires registered operating vehicles to use a paved or stoned driveway or approved extension. Their overlap is not decided here. November 2, 2026 Ordinance 2026-24 changes downtown residential parking-supply requirements and reproduces parking-facility permit standards; those approvals remain separate.
Who to ask about your setup
This guide covers only the local rule described above. The municipality must confirm classification, jurisdiction, parcel conditions and any required approvals. No permit, camping right or utility authorization is issued. Article 3-11 and the Borough’s current adopted-law index reviewed November 7, 2026. Ordinance 2026-24, adopted November 2, revises downtown parking supply, not Article 3-11. Ordinance 2026-23 addresses application submission procedures; permit administration is not automated.
Use the Hightstown parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
