Beach Parking Stickers

For Residents (Valid July 1, 2022-June 30, 2025)
West Haven residents who own their vehicles and are current on their motor vehicle taxes should have received the new three-year beach parking stickers in the mail with their tax bills. Those who lease their vehicles should have also received the 2022-25 stickers in a separate mailing.

Delinquent taxpayers are not eligible for the free stickers, which expire June 30, 2025, until their motor vehicle taxes are paid. Taxpayers can check if they owe back taxes and make a payment at Tax Collector.

Beach stickers are for new, leased and military-exempt vehicles, including motorcycles. A “new” vehicle means it was registered in West Haven after Oct. 1, 2022. Commercial vehicles are excluded.

Each sticker includes the vehicle’s license plate number printed on it and is nontransferable.

Beach stickers are a benefit for resident taxpayers whose vehicles are registered in West Haven. They allow free parking in the following municipal lots: South Street, Dawson Avenue, Sea Bluff, Bradley Point, Rock Street, Oak Street, Altschuler Plaza, Morse Park, Sandy Point and the April Street boat launch.

The boat launch is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and closed overnight. Use of the launch is for city residents only.

Beach stickers are only valid if affixed to the inside lower left corner of the vehicle’s windshield. Stickers are required at all times, regardless if parking lots are staffed.

Violators are subject to a $100 fine.

Anyone who did not receive a beach sticker or has recently purchased a new vehicle registered in West Haven can contact the tax office at 203-937-3525 or taxoffice@westhaven-ct.gov.

For beach sticker information, call the tax office at 203-937-3525.
