What is the difference between the Long Term Parking Permit and the Seasonal Fee-Pay Parking Permit?

  • Long Term Parking Permits are for people storing vehicles on the spit: they let you park for more than 7 days at a time, between January 1st and December 31st of the same year in any lot that allows a Long Term Parking Permit.

How long can I leave my trailer on the spit for?

Boat trailers can park for up to 7 calendar days at no cost in designated trailer parking areas. Trailers must leave City property for a minimum of 24 hours before returning to the trailer parking areas.
