Q. Do I need a sticker?
A. Beach Parking Stickers are only required for parking your car in a town beach parking lot during the summer. You do not need a sticker if you walk, cycle, roller skate, get dropped off, take a taxi, etc. Also, you do not need a sticker from about the second week of September through mid-June.

Q. I'm pretty sure I qualify, but how will you know?
A. We'll look at the name on your vehicle registration. It must match either the name on your real estate tax account, or your name in the town census records.
Q. I meet the simple guidelines. What do I need to do?
A. There are three ways you can apply for a sticker:
Q. My registration shows a leasing company/business...", "my property is owned by a trust...", "I rent a cottage for the summer...", "I've got a time share...". What do we do?
