Replacement Stickers

Replacement stickers will be issued upon reasonable proof of loss or theft of a sticker, or if the vehicle is traded or sold and plates transferred to a new vehicle. Only one replacement per sticker is permitted in a season. There will be a $15.00 charge for a replacement sticker unless original sticker is traded in for the replacement.  If a sticker has faded or failed in any way, they may be exchanged for a replacement as well.

Misuse of Stickers

At all times, the sticker remains the property of the Town of Jamestown. The person to whom the sticker has been issued (pass holder) has purchased a use privilege, not the sticker and agrees that the sticker may be revoked by removal or other means if it is misused. The pass holder also agrees that the Town of Jamestown will make the final judgment as to whether a sticker has been misused.

Penalties and Revocation of Stickers

1. A Parking Control Officer, Police Officer, Parks & Recreation Department Director, or his/her duly authorized agent(s) may remove stickers for misuse.
2. Persons whose stickers have been removed have seven days to appeal to the Parks & Recreation Director.
