This does not affect Full Season permit holders.  However, if you are not a Full Season permit holder and wish to park at one of our beaches, please visit https://www.southamptontownny.gov/355/Beach-Parking-Permit for information on Daily Permits. 

When using the app, customers must enter their license plate number as part of the transaction.  When the transaction is complete, the customer’s plate number is entered onto the “valid” list which verifies daily parking permit was purchased. 

In the lots where Passport Mobile Pay is offered, the plates of parked cars will be scanned by enforcement vehicles.  Plate numbers that are not found to be on the “valid” list will be ticketed.   

If a plate does not come up as “valid,” the officer will check for a valid permit decal and other authorized permits before ticketing.
