§ 62-93. Golf cart registration.

All golf carts operated on town streets must first be registered through the town police department. Registration of golf carts must be made by the owner who is at least 18 years of age. The owner of the golf cart will be charged an annual registration fee in an amount set by resolution. There will be no prorated registrations. Funds from registration fees will help support costs of street designation signs, police inspection of the golf cart and registration stickers, which are to be placed on the driver's rear fender of the golf cart. A 31-day re-registration period for all previously registered golf carts will be permitted during the month of January each year for an annual re-registration fee in an amount set by resolution. Owners re-registering golf carts after this date will be charged the annual fee in an amount set by resolution. Golf carts that are not re-registered by January 31 of each year will be considered expired until re-registered, and will not permitted for use on town-designated streets. Driving a golf cart without a current registration will result in a fine in an amount set by resolution. If not paid, this fine will be billed through the town monthly water bill. Any person, who demonstrates his fine has been paid by producing a receipt from the town, can register his golf cart for free within ten working days of paying his fine. After ten working days, it will cost the owner another fee in an amount set by resolution to register his golf cart. A list of all golf cart registrations will be maintained by the town police department.
