‍Temporary Parking Permit:
Residents may park in “Permit Parking Only” (white sign with green lettering) zones without limitation except during posted street cleaning periods or temporary/emergency restrictions.  This permit does not allow parking in “Resident Permit Parking Only” (green sign) zones.  This permit is for Hoboken residents who do not have their current Hoboken address on their driver’s license or who drive a car that is either not owned or registered to the resident with proper documented as parked in Hoboken.   Examples include individuals without a Hoboken address on their New Jersey driver’s license, vehicles not registered in the name of the resident, residents awaiting receipt of a driver’s license with a Hoboken address, residents awaiting registration papers for a newly purchased vehicle, or for vehicles in short term use, such as when a permitted vehicle is in for repairs or when using rental cars.  Temporary parking permits are issued at a daily rate as a placard for a maximum of 45 days and expire at 11:59PM on the last day of their validity.  The standard fee for this permit is $6/day. Residents who either do not have a current Resident parking permit issued in their name or concurrently suspend use of a Resident parking permit are issued a Temporary parking permit for use with a rental car/Corner Car, when awaiting permanent plates for a newly purchased vehicle, or when a permitted vehicle is in for repairs free of charge up to a maximum of 45 days and include an endorsement to allow parking in “Resident Permit Parking Only” (green sign) zones.
Driveway Parking Permit:
Residents may park on-street immediately in front of a resident’s driveway without limitation except during posted street cleaning periods or temporary/emergency restrictions.  Vehicles must comply with all posted/marked parking regulations if any portion of the vehicle extends beyond the physical width of the driveway (where the curb returns to the standard street width).  Driveway parking permits are issued to Hoboken residents on an annual basis as a placard and expire at 11:59PM on the last day of their validity.  For initial permit issuance, HPU staff will survey the driveway to confirm the permitted vehicle is no longer than the driveway width (to avoid future disputes, HPU does not issue Driveway parking permits for vehicles that are longer than the physical width of the driveway).  There is no fee for this permit, but residents interested in this permit should familiarize themselves with the strict rules established by the State of New Jersey and reflected in Hoboken’s City Code.

‍Temporary No Parking (TNP) Signs:
‍These signs are available to the general public for reserving specific on-street spaces for commercial vehicles or containers involved in Moving, Large deliveries, Dumpsters, Television and Film, City business, Contractor activities, or City approved special events.  TNP signs are sold Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:00pm in increments of 4, 8, 12, and 24-hours for $16.00, $26.00, $42.00, and $62.00, respectively. TNP signs must be ordered a minimum of 7 days in advance of the time you wish to reserve on-street space(s) in person, or 10 days in advance through our online system. TNP signs are for commercial vehicles and therefore may not be purchased for personal vehicles, unless approved by the Director.  Each TNP sign reserves approximately fifteen (15) feet of on-street curb length (NOTE: Due to numerous street appurtenances and regulations, this estimate is neither exact nor guaranteed; you are strongly advised to be conservative with your needs estimate).  For all vehicles equal to or greater in sizes than small moving vans/trucks, a minimum of two (2) signs is required.  When ordering TNP signs, the exact number of signs and the exact street addresses (start and end points) must be provided to our Customer Service Representatives; if you are unsure of this information, please call or speak to HPU staff before placing any orders.  TNP reservations do not exempt vehicles from street cleaning, except construction vehicles, or any emergency regulations.  It is the purchaser’s responsibility to remove the signs within two (2) hours of the posted date and time on the temporary no parking signs or upon completion of the purpose of the purchase, whichever is sooner. Any individual, business, institution, or agency found to be in violation of this section shall be subject to penalty in the amount of $45.00 per sign. HPU does not guarantee cars will not be parked at the time signs go into effect, but we will make every attempt to enforce with towing when/if this happens.  When contact information is available in our records, HPU typically attempts to make “courtesy calls” to owners of vehicles parked in front of live TNP signs before towing.
