Can I park an RV on the street overnight?
Section 419-17 prohibits vehicle parking on any Borough street from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. The rule is not limited to commercial vehicles or large RVs. In extenuating circumstances the Chief of Police, or the officer in charge of Headquarters in the Chief’s absence, shall grant permission for a specified period. Obtain that actual permission before relying on the exception.
Does parking outside those hours make it legal?
No. Section 419-16 expressly preserves more restrictive stopping, standing and parking laws. Route-specific signs, state law, snow/emergency restrictions and other provisions may apply. The overnight limit is not a daytime RV parking license or a loading grace period.
Can I use a Borough parking lot?
Section 419-18 requires a designated space with the whole vehicle within a single space’s lines. Borough property also requires specific or implied permission. Implied permission concerns using or visiting Borough facilities for an offered event, service or amenity; it is not a general RV storage or campground authorization. Do not assume an RV may occupy several spaces.
What about a home driveway or sleeping inside?
The selected traffic provisions do not settle residential driveway/yard RV storage, guest sleeping, living in a vehicle, repairs or utility connections. Ask Borough zoning staff about those activities and the actual parcel. A street permission does not approve habitation.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Paramus Borough zoning staff about your parcel, vehicle and intended activity. Ask Police about street parking. Confirm later ordinances, private covenants, easements and utility approvals separately.
Use the Paramus Borough parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
