Parking Permits

Local merchants and employees are encouraged to pick up Town of Carolina Beach parking permits.  Carolina Beach residents with vehicles registered to the Town can obtain parking permits at no cost with the purchase of a Vehicle Identification Decal (renewable January 1st of every year).  Cost of parking permits for non-residents is $50. Non-residents who own property in Carolina Beach may obtain a parking permit for free by providing proof of ownership. The parking permits may be picked up or purchased at the Town of Carolina Beach Town Hall (1121 N. Lake Park Blvd.).  By placing a parking permit on your vehicle, you will be allowed to park in pay-station lots, honor box locations and metered spaces.  Vehicles that have parking permits may use 2 hr. timed spaces but are not allowed to exceed the 2 hr. maximum per space per block rule.  The Parking Permit must be permanently affixed on the inside front windshield behind the rearview mirror.  Following this procedure allows more spaces available for Town visitors to patronize local businesses.
