2. To obtain Resident Commuter Parking Permits or Recycling Center (Landfill) Permits by mail, please download an application here.  Mail the completed application and payment along with a copy of your NJ Driver’s license, registration and insurance card to:  Glen Rock Police Records Bureau – 1 Harding Plaza, Glen Rock, and NJ 07452.  YOU MUST ALSO INCLUDE A STAMPED, SELF ADDRESSED ENVELOPE.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5.  For unplanned emergencies, such as a vehicle having a sticker becoming disabled, 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.  DO NOT CALL THE RECORDS BUREAU.  

6.  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.  However, these permits are only available when the Police Department Records Bureau is open, see below for hours of operation.

7.  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 (landfill) sticker from the GRPD. This number of reserved and signed meter spaces will be increased or decreased depending on demand.

8.  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 Administrative Aide at the Police Records and Reception Desk along with the proper fee, valid vehicle registration and insurance card. 

9.  Resident parking stickers may still purchase at the Glen Rock Police Records and Reception Desk 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday and until 7:30 PM on Tuesdays ONLY.  Stickers will not be available when the Records and Reception Desk is not staffed.  Purchase via US mail is recommended.    

10. 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.
