Documents to Bring
Every document must be original. Photocopies are refused at both city and county locations, and the names and address on your paperwork have to line up.
If You Live Inside Naples City Limits
Bring your current Florida driver’s license and your original Collier County vehicle registration. Both must show the same name and a City of Naples address.1City of Naples. Beach Parking Permits
If You Live Elsewhere in Collier County
Bring an original current Collier County driver’s license and an original current Collier County vehicle registration. Same name on both, Collier County address on both.2Collier County Parks & Recreation. Beach Parking Information
If You Own Property but Live Somewhere Else
Part-time owners need three items, all showing the owner’s name:
- A valid driver’s license from any state.
- A valid vehicle registration, or a rental car agreement.
- A current Collier County property tax bill. If you closed on the property within the past three months and don’t have a tax bill yet, a warranty deed works.2Collier County Parks & Recreation. Beach Parking Information
