Residential Parking Permits and Vehicle Tax Decals

Vehicle tax decals may also be purchased from the Pivot Parking office.  This annual license tax, required per Town ordinances 70.35 - 70.39, is to be paid annually on or before the first day of April of each year.  Vehicle tax decals also serve as identification for re-entry onto Wrightsville Beach in the event of a mandatory evacuation.  It's important to purchase your vehicle tax decal before April.  Sale of the decals ceases when a hurricane warning is issued. 

GOLF CART PARKING:  If you own a street legal golf cart, you must pay for parking in the Town of Wrightsville Beach both on-street and in parking lots. Residential property owners in the Town can purchase up to two parking permits (hang tags) to be used with any vehicle.  An issued hang tag must be displayed on a golf cart and the golf cart parked on-street in those areas where parking permits are eligible to park.  Using a Tax decal or a photo copy of a parking permit to park a golf cart in Wrightsville Beach could result in the issuance of a parking citation.  
 
RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMITS AND VEHICLE TAX DECALS may be purchased online.  However, you must pick up your permit or decal at the parking office during regular business hours.  

 Residential Parking Permit Application requires signature by a notary.

• A driver's license that matches the Town's property tax listing
• Another form of identification that identifies the individual as the property owner
• If you lease a property, a notarized residential parking permit application from the property owner giving permission to obtain that property's allocation of passes is required.
• If you lease a property that is handled by a property management group a notarized letter from the management group will be required in order to release the residential parking permits to the tenant.
• If a property is a multi-family unit registered as a single property, the property is eligible for only 2 passes.
• For each residential parking permit purchased, a vehicle tax decal must also be purchased with the residential parking permit if the owner of the vehicle resides in the Town for a period of 30 days (permanent or temporary residence) or if the vehicle is stored in the Town for any purpose either when in use or not in use.
• If you are not purchasing a residential parking permit, vehicle tax decals will still be required if the owner of the vehicle resides in the Town for a period of 30 days (permanent or temporary residence) or if the vehicle is stored in the Town for any purpose either when in use or not in use.
