Residents Beach Parking Permits

Residents pay for beach permits in their property taxes and may pick up a beach sticker at any community center at a Collier County Park. Click here for a list of park locations that have community centers and distribute beach parking permits.

Placement Instructions:Vanderbilt beach
Beach stickers as of Fall 2009 are "window stickers" that should be placed inside your front view window on the driver's side near dashboard.  You may place these on rental cars, if you have permission from the rental company, however Collier County is not responsible for damage charges.

Stickers may not be moved from one vehicle to another. The sticker must remain with the vehicle with which it was registered.

Residents are required to provide documentation proving their residency.  Read the below list. 

  • Without a beach permit, individuals must pay an $8 parking fee at any of Collier County's beach parking facilities including the Vanderbilt Beach Garage

Full time Residents must provide the following to obtain a parking permit:

  • Original Collier County Vehicle Registration (copies not accepted)
  • Original Collier County Drivers License

Part time Resident Property Owners must provide the following to obtain a parking sticker:

  • Original Vehicle Registration or rental car agreement
  • Original Drivers License (regardless of state)
  • Current Collier County Tax Statement or deed or current closing paper for a property

Mobile Home Owners please note:

  • Mobile Home Owners must own the land the home is on if they are a part time resident in order to qualify for the property tax paid beach permit with no payment required at the time of pickup - otherwise you will need to purchase a $50 annual beach sticker for visitors
  • Taxes paid on land do not qualify the payer as an 'property owner', even if they own the mobile home the land rests on.
  • Full time residents living in mobile homes may obtain a beach parking permit.
