All boat ramp permits are purchased online only. You may purchase a seasonal or daily permit.
Ensure that you complete and upload all the required documents. Verify all your information is entered correctly. Once all information in the online application completed, you will receive a blue online payment link. Select and this will take you to another page to complete the payment.
*NOTE* You must return to the original application to submit. No reference number is required on the payment screen unless the cardholder information doesn’t match the applicant’s application, in which you will enter the applicant's full name in the reference field.
If your application and payment were submitted successfully, you will receive confirmation from both applications.
Purchase a Permit
You will need to upload a copy of your boat and trailer registration, and enter: your full name, address, driver license number, phone, email, and date of birth, when completing the online application, in addition to completing payment.
The original boat ramp permits are only mailed out for seasonal permit holders. They are typically mailed within 7 to 10 business days.
Permits holders must use their payment receipt and copy of their temporary permit. Place payment receipt and temporary permit visibly in your window dashboard. Daily Permit holder’s temporary permit is only valid for the Daily Permit Date, entered on the application.
If it is over 14 days and you have not received your original permit and payment was successful, please email nscott@burlingtonnj.us.
Typically this will result from unsuccessful application submission. You will need to email a copy of your boat and trailer registration and contact information. Once payment is verified your application will be done administratively and your permit will be processed to mail.
