PARKING REMINDER
Parking Fees Now In Effect,
Slight Change to ParkMobile App
Sea Isle City Parking Fees are required from May 15 through Labor Day Monday (which is September 1 this year).
Several years ago, Sea Isle City stopped accepting cash payments for parking fees, and there are no longer any free-standing meters or kiosks in Sea Isle City. Instead, parking fees are paid via the ParkMobile App, which can be found in both Google and Apple App Stores. A service fee of 65-cents will be applied when paying for parking via Park-Mobile.
PLEASE NOTE: Zones that require parking fees are clearly marked. You do not have to pay to park in spaces that do not have Green ParkMobile signs posted nearby.
Slight Change to the “ParkMobile” App:
This year, you no longer need to add your “parking space number” when using the ParkMobile app to pay for parking. Otherwise, the ParkMobile App is the same as last year.

As you enjoy the long holiday weekend, don’t forget that Memorial Day is a federal holiday to honor and mourn those who served in the United States Armed forces and passed away while serving our country. Memorial Day is formerly known as Decoration Day, as many people visit cemeteries and memorials to place flags and flowers on veterans’ graves to grieve their losses and to commemorate those who died in military service for the United States.
