1.  Resident Commuter Parking Stickers are available for an annual fee of $145.00 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 in the Main Line Train Station lot 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 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 10 a.m. to 2p.m. on Saturdays. Stickers will not be available when the Records and Reception Desk is not staffed.  

8. Payment must be made by check or money order only.  All checks should be made out to the BOROUGH OF GLEN ROCK.  The Police Department CANNOT accept credit cards or cash for parking permits.

9. New Residents may obtain a temporary parking permit free of charge for a period not to exceed 60 days.  New residents must show proof of residency in Glen Rock in the form of a deed, lease or public utility bill.   

q       New Residents of New Jersey are required by State Law to obtain a NJ Driver’s License and register their vehicles in NJ within 60 day after becoming a resident.  Residents moving within the State must file a change of address with the NJ Division of Motor Vehicle within one week after moving. 

Commuter parking is available at any one of the five designated commuter parking areas, however a permit is required and must be properly affixed and displayed on your vehicle.  

Glen Rock Commuter Parking, Landfill and Employee Parking Permits must be ADHERED to the driver’s side back window of your vehicle.

Resident commuter parking areas are located at the N.J. Transit Borough Hall Railroad/Bus Station with lots at the rear of the Ambulance Headquarters, Harding Plaza, West Plaza and the West Plaza Extension.  An additional residential parking area for commuters is located at the N.J. Transit Main Line Railroad Station.  Parking is limited and on a first-come-first-serve basis.    Vehicles without a valid permit or those left in the lot overnight will be issued summonses.  

Metered parking is available to non-resident commuters at a cost of $6.00 per day (regardless of the length of stay) beginning January 1, 2009.  These lots also tend to fill up quickly and the parking is limited. Vehicles left at a meter overnight will be issued a summons.
