Beach vehicle permit ordinance changes

[miznotebook]

The 816 permits had been the original recommendation because, according to the attorney, that was the number of existing permits on the day of the meeting. He changed his recommendation to the number of existing permits at the effective date of the ordinance, which would likely be a different number. So the 816 number was not in the amendment as it was finally approved.

I was at the meeting and had the impression that they don't want permits and this is their way of getting rid of them. They said they would be able to revisit it in the future should the need arise, but my opinion (for what that's worth) is that they don't want them at all. :shock:

The interesting thing, too, is that if you forget to pay your ad valorem taxes or forget to renew your permit during a 2-month window, you will not be able to renew AT ALL.

Also, if you pass away, your family will NOT be able to renew and keep it in the family. :angry:

By the way, those interested in having a permit have LESS THAN 10 DAYS to get one or YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET A PERMIT UNTIL AND UNLESS THEY CHANGE THE ORDINANCE. Don't see that happening.

I know that some folks don't want anyone to have a permit to drive on the beach, and I can understand that.... but used responsibly, I think this is/was a wonderful thing to be able to do.

Anyway, glad I remembered to renew mine!

I don't think paying your taxes is to much to ask as a prerequisite.

So, if everyone rushes out to get one, the number allowed might be a bit higher?

That's what I understood from the meeting, but I'll verify. (Not about the rushing out but about the number going up.)

I think you should be named mizrocketscientist for being able to keep up with all of this.You do a very good job of explaining issues like this and keeping the public informed. Thank you.

what does this mean?

what does this mean in the new ordinance? i just got a sticker and if i can't renew i'm not interested in having it. it says you must have had a sticker in the prior year? does that mean people had to have a sticker in 2009 and 2010? if so that means only people that got one over 12 months ago and now.



a. The person applying for the permit must have had a permit as of the effective date of this ordinance and for the year preceding the date of application. Each parcel of property shall only be entitled to one vehicle permit and one boat trailer permit each year.

That means you will have to have gotten your permit between June 1, 2009 and the effective date of the ordinace in order to apply for one on June 1, 2010. The ordinance will probably officially be adopted by the end of week, that's my guess.

so if got one last week i'll be able to renew? i guess the way the oridinance is written is to prevent people who had one in 2006,2007 and 2008 and let it expire from coming back and reapplying.
