Vehicles using the current hang tags after that date are subject to towing for an expired tag.

For those who have submitted applications, 2021 pool pass distribution will occur at the pool in conjunction with the owner hang tag distribution. Photo IDs are required for pass pickup and when entering the pool deck for a reservation. For 2021 you will not be required to sign the “Agreement to Assume Risk and Release” document but you will have to agree with the document within the reservation system.
