1.  Resident Commuter Parking Stickers are available for an annual fee of $120 per year, January to December. Please be sure to bring your valid NJ vehicle registration (showing your Glen Rock address) with you.   If your vehicle is leased, you will need to bring proof of residency in the form of a valid NJ Driver’s license.

2.  Households may purchase multiple stickers, with the second and subsequent stickers available at the cost of $80 for the same household. All commuter parking, such as Harding Plaza, West Plaza, Main Line lot and Main Street meters, is on a first-come-first-serve non-guaranteed basis.

3.  For unplanned emergencies, such as a dead battery with the vehicle having a sticker, another vehicle can be parked as long as the resident calls the Glen Rock Police Central Dispatch (201-652-3800) before 8:00 am with the correct information.  Correct information will include name, address, telephone number and LICENSE PLATE NUMBER of the vehicle being used.   A vehicle description alone will not be sufficient.

4.  For residents with a longer vehicle repair, such as a vehicle in a body shop for a few days, the resident must obtain a temporary sticker at the GRPD to be displayed in the other vehicle. There is no charge for this service, which has been working successfully for years.

5.  For residents who may make an occasional commuting trip, they may park at one of the ten (10) $1 meters on Main Street reserved for their use. To prove residency they must obtain a free recycling sticker from the GRPD. This number of reserved and signed meter spaces will be increased or decreased depending on demand.

6.  Borough policy allows parking privileges for residential properties split by a town border.  In order to purchase a sticker, a resident with a split lot and an out of town license must get a tax map copy from either the Tax Assessor or Tax Collector.  This map must be presented to the Clerk at the Police Records and Reception Desk along with the proper fee and vehicle registration. 

7.  Resident parking stickers may be purchased at the Glen Rock Police Records and Reception Desk 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, seven days a week. Stickers will not be available when the Records and Reception Desk is not staffed.

Metered parking is available to non-resident commuters at a cost of FOUR dollars in quarters ($4.00) per day (regardless of the length of stay).  These lots also tend to fill up quickly and the parking is limited. Vehicles left at a meter overnight will be issued a summons.

Parking is not permitted in any of the Borough parking lots or on any street between the hours of 2 AM and 5 AM.  In any emergency you may contact the Police Department's Central Dispatch (201) 652-3800 prior to 2 AM if you are unable to move your car, from a lot or the street, to avoid receiving a summons.

Landfill Stickers, available free of charge, will allow entry to the Borough’s Land Fill and Recycling Center.  These stickers can be obtained, between the hours of 8:00 am and 11:00 pm, seven days a week, through the Police Records and Reception Desk and are valid for the year shown on the permit.  Please be sure and bring your valid car registration with you.   If your car is leased, you will need to bring proof of residency in Glen Rock (i.e. Driver’s License). The Recycling Center is operated by the Glen Rock Department of Public Works and permits are checked by their staff.  Questions about the Recycling Center and their hours of operations should be directed to the D.P.W.
