If you should trade or sell your vehicle, or have your windshield replaced, you must scrape the permit from the windshield and return it with your receipt and new car registration. Permits that are stolen or lost will not be reissued.

Credit can be given for one daily park entrance fee per vehicle towards purchase of annual pass. Payment must be made by residents within 30 days of dated receipt, only if you are eligible to use that particular park. 

In order to obtain a credit, return the original park entrance receipt when applying for your permit. You may get a credit only at time of purchase.
