All boat launch permits are non-transferrable and tied to the vehicle to which they're registered. For non-commercial permits, you must complete separate application forms for each vehicle if you want each vehicle to have a valid permit.

There is no limit to the number of resident boat launch permits a resident may obtain in a single season (May 1–Oct. 31), provided that proof of vehicle ownership is submitted and matches the name on the proof of residency.

Placing the Season's Resident Boat Launch Permit sticker on your windshield will help by-law enforcement officers when patrolling the area.

Your information (licence plate, vehicle, and confirmation that proof of residency and vehicle ownership was provided) is also stored in our system for lookup from enforcement officers, so displaying the sticker is not mandatory.

Proof of residency can include a driver's licence, utility or water bill from within the last 60 days, cell phone bill from within the last 60 days, or tax bill from current year. 

By-law enforcement officers patrol the parking lot and the launch site to confirm permit validity, using a mobile app to confirm whether a licence plate has a valid permit. 

While displaying your Season’s Resident Boat Launch Permit sticker or a non-resident permit receipt on the windshield or dashboard is helpful, officers verify permits using only the licence plate.

As long as the proof of residency and proof of vehicle ownership are valid and the name on both documents corresponds with the permit application, the vehicle owner does not need to be present to obtain the resident permit.
