1. Who operates the parking program?

The Wrightsville Beach Parking Program is a public/private partnership between the Town of Wrightsville Beach and Lanier Parking Solutions. Lanier Parking manages the day-to-day operations, but the Town sets all fees, penalties, hours of operation, location of meters, and other policy issues.

2. How much are parking tickets?

Parking fine amounts vary depending on the violation. Most meter violations are $35. If not paid, within 3 days, the penalty is $45; if not paid within 10 days, the penalty is $65.

3. What if I feel that some or any information has been mistakenly cited on a parking violation?

Please contact parking office at 910-256-5453. Staff will provide prompt assistance to resolve the issue.

6. How do I pay a ticket?

Check out our parking citation payment options on our Pay a Citation page.

7. What do I do if I get a ticket?

Pay or appeal the citation within 3 days of the issuance date.

8. What if I fail to respond to a violation?

If you fail to pay or appeal the violation within 3 days, a late fee of $10 will be applied to the violation amount. After 10 days, another late fee of $20 will be applied to the violation amount.

If you continue to ignore your obligation to pay, the town may seek alternative forms of collection, including a collection agency, credit bureau action, or small claims court. Individuals who accumulate 3 or more unpaid citations are subject to have the vehicle immobilized (booted) or towed until full payment is made.

9. Can I be held responsible for tickets issued to a vehicle that I co-own, even though I do not use the vehicle? Am I responsible even if I am not the driver?

Yes. As a registered owner, you are liable for any citations regardless of whether or not you were using the vehicle as the time the citations were issued.
