Hurricane Re-entry Pass
Renew your passes starting May 1st, 2010
Beginning this year (2010) the Town of North Topsail Beach will be issuing car decals. We are going to use the decals on a two-year
cycle, possibly longer. Please place them on the bottom left side of your windshield. You will receive two passes per home only,
NO EXCEPTIONS. If you sell your car, scrape your old decal off and show proof of sale and we will issue a new decal.
