Beach parking permits have been allocated by the city of Delray Beach for sale at the Utility Billing Department in City Hall at 100 NW First Ave.. The city’s parking management specialist Scott Aronson said beach permits cost $85.20, which will cover the period from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30, 2010. Beach parking permits can be used for the Orange Grove lot, at Anchor, Sandoway and Ingraham parks and at the Atlantic Dunes lots. More importantly is the projection of money raised by the permits.

“$26,000-plus will be raised for the city’s general fund,” Aronson said.

Beach parking permits can be bought by anyone, including nonresidents. All that’s needed for purchase is a valid driver’s license and an up-to-date vehicle registration. Upon purchase, the utility billing department will give the purchaser a sticker that is to be placed on the windshield of the automobile’s driver’s side. Aronson said that stickers will not be transferable from vehicle to vehicle.
