General Eligibility and Requirements
1. Persons renting commercial property in Eastham DO NOT qualify for a Resident Beach Sticker.
2. A resident who is entitled to a Resident Beach Sticker, but who has no vehicle or does not intend to purchase a sticker for their own vehicle, may assign one Resident Beach Sticker to another individual. The person to whom the sticker is being assigned must be present with the resident to purchase the sticker and must provide vehicle registration and a valid driver’s license at the time of purchase. This privilege is limited to one Resident Beach Sticker assignment per resident or taxpayer. Once a parking permit has been assigned, the person assigning that sticker is NOT entitled to purchase any further beach permits during that beach season.
3. In the case of property with a life tenancy provision, the Resident Beach Sticker shall be issued to the life tenant. Any other Beach Parking Permits issued to the same property shall be issued at the rate of a non-resident.
4. In the case of property held in trust, Resident Beach Stickers may be issued to trustees upon presentation of adequate written documentation of trustee status. Beneficiaries of the trust are NOT deemed owners of the property and as such are not eligible for a Resident Beach Sticker.
5. In the case of a year-round rental of a residential property, the Resident Beach Sticker shall be issued upon presentation of appropriate written documentation of the year-round rental. (i.e., copy of rental agreement, lease.)
Special Permits (Non-Resident Taxpayer Only)
Non-Residents of the Town of Eastham who do not own a vehicle in Eastham but rent (or otherwise) another vehicle may apply for a Special Permit. This permit allows the taxpayer to the same benefits as a standard, town-issued sticker. Permits are purchased at the same dollar value as a sticker. The name on the permit must match the name of the non-resident taxpayer of Eastham. Only the person(s) whose name appears on the permit is entitled to the privileges of the permit and must accompany the permit at the time of use.
Replacement Stickers
Replacement stickers will be issued upon reasonable proof of loss or theft of a sticker, or if the vehicle is traded or sold and plates are transferred to a new vehicle. Only one replacement per sticker is permitted in a season. A portion of the original sticker showing the printed number must be presented at the time of the replacement request. There will be a $5.00 charge for a replacement sticker.
Misuse of Stickers
At all times, the sticker remains the property of the Town of Eastham. The person to whom the sticker has been issued (pass holder) has purchased a use privilege, not the sticker and agrees that the sticker may be revoked by removal or other means if it is misused. The pass holder also agrees that the Town of Eastham through its Board of Selectmen will make the final judgment as to whether a sticker has been misused.
The following shall be considered a misuse of stickers:
1. Sticker registration number does not match the registration number of the vehicle to which it is attached.
2. Sticker is not permanently affixed to the vehicle.
3. Sticker has been altered, defaced, copied or made unreadable.
