Decal Information:
A decal on your windshield entitles you to park in any legal space on the island without paying the parking fees, although time limits in some areas are still in effect, so you need to stay aware of the time if you are in a short-term spot.
- All parking decals are valid for one year from the month of purchase. Decals expire on the last day of the month purchased.
- To get a Resident decal, your vehicle must be registered to a Tybee address (Chatham County 03 District 03). You must bring your valid registration and proof of residency to receive the free, resident decal. Decals for residents expire with their tag.
- Transferrable decals must be displayed in the dash of the vehicle using the decal, and are not unique to one vehicle.
- Senior Discount Decals– You must be 62 or older, you must be on the vehicle registration and be present to use the discount.
- Motorized Cart T-Number Decals– The city allows motorized cart use under specific circumstances. Carts must be inspected, registered, display a T-Number, and operated only on certain streets. Find more information here.
- There are no discounts on Golf Cart or Transferable decals.
- Decals are associated to a single vehicle, so to purchase, you must bring your paid tag registration, and the decals must be permanently affixed on the driver’s exterior windshield in order to be valid.
- Motorcycle stickers are also available for the same fee and must be placed on the front forks of the bike for visibility to a parking officer.
- If you trade out your vehicle during the year, be sure to scrape off the decal and bring it in to trade for a new sticker.
Tour Bus Parking:
Parking for tour buses and motor coaches is extremely limited. They may park ONLY in designated bus parking spaces on Pulaski Street and 15th St. This restriction applies year-round.
