They are cheap, as long as you have a valid NJ driver license, the car has valid NJ license plates, and all the addresses on those match your home address, which is in Zone 4, and you live in a building that does not offer parking. If any of those things aren't true, you can't get one.

Then I should be fine. I did look it up and I think I'll be better off going to the parking Authority in person, since online applications can take a week or two to come in the mail.

Fuck doing it online, go to the office in the Heights. They are real assholes in there with superiority complexes, but they will get you a parking permit on the spot.

Yeah thats what I mean. I had checked online and saw how long it takes to get one. The site even recommends going in person to get one asap.

But thank you for your help. As said, I'm very new to car ownership and parking was the last thing I needed to take care of.

Unlike the DMV joke, you don't need an appointment. Just show up.
