(A) The owner of a golf cart shall apply and receive a registration sticker for a golf cart before operating that golf cart on a public street or road within the town; however, a person may operate a golf cart when traveling directly to and from a scheduled registration event as provided herein, provided that all other provisions of this subchapter and state law are met. The town’s Police Department shall conduct golf cart registrations periodically, and shall post the date and time of such registrations at Town Hall at least 20 days prior to such registration.
(B) During the registration process, the registering police officer shall ensure that all basic requirements under this subchapter are met, including, but not limited to, those concerning golf cart equipment and liability insurance. If all such requirements are met, upon the applicant’s non-refundable payment of $25 to the town, the registering officer shall issue a registration sticker, and shall affix such sticker to the left front windshield of the golf cart. Registration stickers shall be valid for one year from the date of issuance. Registration stickers will be registered to the serial number of the golf cart.
(C) Upon issuance of a registration sticker, golf cart owners shall be given a list of approved public streets and roads for the operation of golf carts within the town. Registered owners shall also be provided a list of fines and penalties for violation of this subchapter.
(D) Should a registration sticker be stolen, lost, or damaged beyond recognition, the owner of a golf cart may apply to the town for a replacement sticker. The fee for a replacement sticker shall be $10. Nothing in this subchapter shall prevent an officer of the town from requiring a golf cart owner to apply for a replacement sticker should that officer become aware that a previously issued, valid sticker has been compromised due to theft, loss, or damage.
