Paid Parking:

The Town of Kure Beach has contracted a third-party Parking Company to handle all paid parking. The Police Department does not have anything to do with tickets issued by the parking company.

The Police Department and the Town of Kure Beach only handle Appeals for Civil Citations issued by Town Employees. Premium Parking is contracted by the Town of Kure Beach and is not considered a Town Employee. Premium Parking handles their own appeals for parking citations, and the Town of Kure Beach is not involved in their process. If you would like to appeal the parking ticket issued by Premium Parking, you may do so by visiting the Premium Parking website or by contacting Premium Parking at (844) 236- 2011.
