(A) Applications. All golf cart owners must annually complete a registration application in a proper manner, pay any applicable application, inspection, and/or registration fees, provide the required proof of liability insurance, and submit their golf carts for inspection by the Police Department. The registration application shall also include signed confirmation that the applicant has read, understands, and agrees to comply with town regulations regarding the operation of golf carts. Upon a determination that the application and the cart meet town requirements, the Police Department shall issue a registration sticker to the owner, accompanied by a copy of the requirements and regulations of this section.
(B) Insurance and liability. All golf cart owners shall provide proof of ownership, required proof of liability insurance, and a waiver of liability (in terms prepared by the town) releasing the town from any and all liability that may arise from the operation of the golf cart within the town. The required liability insurance coverage shall be in an amount not less than that required by North Carolina law for motor vehicles operated on public highways.
(C) Fees. Fees for golf cart applications, inspections, and/or registrations shall be as determined annually by the Board of Commissioners. Such fees shall be non-refundable and shall not be prorated for partial years.
(D) Registration period. Golf cart registrations shall be valid for no more than one year and shall expire on June 30 of each year. Registrations may be issued at any time during the year, but all registrations shall expire on the following June 30.
