HANDICAPPED PARKING PERMIT APPLICATION PROCEDURE
If you are a resident of the Village of Patchogue, you can obtain an application for a permanent or temporary handicapped parking permit from the Village Clerk’s Office at 14 Baker Street,
Patchogue. Persons not living in the Village of Patchogue must go to the Town of Brookhaven or to the Township in which they reside.
NEW PERMITS
Part I of the application is to be filled out and signed by the applicant. If your mail is delivered to a P.O. Box, you must also include your street address on the application. BRING YOUR NEW
YORK STATE DRIVER’S LICENSE OR
CURRENT PHYSICAL ADDRESS, YOU MUST ALSO BRING A UTILITY BILL, BANK STATEMENT, OR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT TO PROVE YOUR
PHYSICAL ADDRESS. A P.O. BOX DOES NOT PROVE RESIDENCY. Part II of the application must be completed (including diagnosis and professional license number) and signed
by your physical (MD, DO, NP or DPM). Chiropractors (DC) and Physician Assistants (PA) are not considered “physicians” under the Vehicle and traffic Law, Sec. 1203.
You may return the application in person or by mail (NO FAX COPIES OR PHOTOCOPIES) to the address listed on the bottom of the application. If someone other than the applicant brings in the application, they must provide all the documentation as listed above. Mail is processed promptly and you will receive your permit within a few days.
RENEWAL PERMITS
If renewing a permit, the expiring permit MUST BE RETURNED. Part I of the application must be completed and signed by applicant. Part I and II must be completed for temporary permit renewal. If your permit has expired for more than a month, follow instructions for new permits. If your permit was issued from another municipality, you must file an application as a new resident.
LOST OR STOLEN PERMITS
If your permit was lost or stolen, you must sign a sworn affidavit, have it notarize and pay a $2.00 fee. You must also compete and sign Part I of the permit application and submit your ID.
The affidavit mentioned above states that you would be issued ONE (1) replacement tag. If the replacement tag is lost or stolen the Village Clerk’s Office WILL NOT ISSUE YOU
ANOTHER TAG. You will have the option of going to the Department of Motor Vehicles for plates or returning to your doctor for a newly completed and signed form.
