Per City Ordinance 108-9, all beachfront properties who wish to set up chairs for their residents or guests are required to obtain a beach chair pre-setting permit from the Code Compliance Division. In addition, vendors must obtain a Certificate of Use and Local Business Tax Receipt.
A non-refundable application fee of $150 must be submitted along with the application.
City Ordinance does not allow pre-setting within the emergency beach access lanes or where an obstruction to the lifeguard's line of sight may be hindered. Additionally, pre-setting is not allowed within the area designated for the exclusive use of beachgoers. Beachfront properties may not prohibit beachgoers from sitting anywhere on the beach and pre-setting must be made in accordance with the approved permit and diagram made by the City.
