Annual Beach Parking Permits Now Available
Oceanside residents get 50% off Beach Parking Permits. Each permit can cover up to two vehicles registered at the same residential address. This year, the permits go virtual. Switching to a virtual permit enables the City to avoid the rising costs of materials, supplies, and services in order to keep the price the same as it has been for the past 11 years: $100 for Oceanside residents and $200 for non-residents. These permits may now be purchased year-round and customers will receive an automated expiration notification when it's due to expire. More info
