67 non-resident annual parking passes were sold on the first day the Town of Fort Myers Beach made them available. That’s $20,100 in instant revenue for the town. This is the first time the town has offered these $300 passes to non-residents. Residents pay $75.
The town made 100 non-residential parking passes available and plans to evaluate how those 100 passes impact parking conditions on the island. After that evaluation the town will decide when or if another 100 will be sold.
The town council approved up to 500 non-residential parking passes when the budget was approved last month. The town has announced that fewer than 500 might be offered for sale.
Each non-residential pass costs $300. To purchase the passes you must go to Town Hall in person so your license and registration can be verified. And, you can not have any outstanding parking violations with the town.
Kudos to town staff for making the process easy and quick for everyone waiting and thank you to the Bay Oaks staff for letting everyone inside at 7AM to avoid the mosquitos.
If you purchase the non-resident pass it is good until the end of 2027 so you are getting an extra 3 months.
I have eye rolls from a number of the commenters who have clearly not followed this at all đŸ™„đŸ™„đŸ™„đŸ™„đŸ™„
Where are the included parking spaces located ? Thanx
Absolutely no regard for the residents of the island. Adding 100 now or an additional 400 down the road is ludicrous when parking and traffic is always at a premium. So now penalize the island owners or residents first and lose the income from those that drive over and pay to park. This certainly will cause more traffic jams.
Sell 500 non resident parking passes for a town that only has 400 spaces total. That’s in addition to all of the resident passes sold. They keep selling these, you might be ticked you paid $300 to come down here and find there are no spaces…..
We don’t get back from vacation until Wed 10/21 and would like to purchase one. Can you release the next batch after that? It even better add an online option to purchase? We can upload our documents.
Where exactly is this Townhall that you go to for these resident parking passes?
The Fort Myers Beach Town Hall is located at 6231 Estero Blvd.
Parking is Free in that lot for visitors who are there to conduct municipal business, from 8:30am to 4:40pm Monday through Friday.

Can I come to the town hall and purchase a pass this week.
Will you be selling the 33 from the original 100.
I would like to purchase one.
