Why do I need a Boating Facilities Parking Permit? 

In accordance with Accomack County Code Chapter 102,  as amended, effective January 1, 2024, all vehicles towing boat trailers parked at any of the specified County boating facilities must display either an annual or a daily Boating Facilities Parking Permit. Any person violating section 102-58 shall be guilty of a Class 4 misdemeanor.

Where do I need to place the permit decal on my vehicle?  Can I place the permit decal on the boat trailer?

The permit decal must be displayed on the windshield of the motor vehicle that is parked at the facility.  The permit decal is to be placed on the windshield near the bottom of the driver’s side, to the right of the State Inspection Sticker, if applicable.  If multiple tow vehicles are used, a separate permit decal is required for each vehicle.  For Accomack County taxpayers, additional free permit decals are available, one per each registered motor vehicle, from the Accomack County Treasurer’s Office.  Under no circumstances are permit decals to be placed on boat trailers.

Where can I purchase a parking permit?

You may visit the Accomack County Treasurer’s Office to purchase a permit in person.  In addition, you can visit the County website (www.co.accomack.va.us) and follow the link to the EZ Pay portal, where a permit can be purchased.

I have a MD saltwater recreational fishing license that allows me to legally fish in VA waters by virtue of a reciprocity agreement between the two states.  Does that qualify me for the discount on the Boating Facilities Parking Permit?
