Parking Permit Information

Borough Ordinance requires all vehicles that are parked at either of the train station lots, the DPW/commuter bus parking lot, or Eldorado Village, Knollcroft Gardens, Bergen Properties, Fair Lawn Park Estates, or Hollow Run parking areas display a valid permit for the specific parking area. (For the DPW/commuter bus parking lot only, daily parking meters can be used, which do not require a permit)

The parking lots/areas are checked every weekday (excluding holidays) and violators are ticketed. All permits expire on December 31 and must be renewed annually. The current permit fee schedule, including the quarterly pro-rated fees, is listed below. The purchase of a parking permit does not guarantee an available parking space.
