Due to the high demand at lakeshore beach parks and certain boat launches during the summer months, additional staffing is required to manage these areas effectively. The revenue generated from permit fees helps improve your experience and maintain the quality of our lakeshore parks.This fee system also allows non-residents to help support the upkeep of these popular areas.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"405\">Discounted permits are available to Ottawa County residents when purchased online or at our office. Ottawa County residents who are seniors (60+), United States military members, including active duty and veterans, and\/or residents of Port Sheldon Township are eligible for an additional discount when purchasing online. The on-site fee stations cannot verify residency, so no discounted permits will be sold at these stations or at the park locations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motor Vehicle Permits<div class=\"et_pb_module dipl_breadcrumb dipl_breadcrumb_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dipl-breadcrumb-wrapper layout2\">\n\t\t\t\t<ol class=\"dipl-breadcrumb-inner\" vocab=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/\" typeof=\"BreadcrumbList\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li property=\"itemListElement\" typeof=\"ListItem\" data-icon=\"&#x24;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"breadcrumb-item dipl-home-page\" href=\"https:\/\/miottawa.org\" property=\"item\" typeof=\"WebPage\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"breadcrumb-page\" property=\"name\">Home<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta property=\"position\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>Annual and daily permits are available online.Vehicles without a valid daily or annual permit will be ticketed.
