Golf Carts or Low Speed Vehicles

Pursuant to the City of D’Iberville’s Code of Ordinances, Ordinance No. 177 requires all golf carts and low-speed vehicles to be operated on a public roadway shall be required to register the vehicle on an annual basis with the City of D’Iberville’s Police Department. Upon issuance, the permit/decal is valid for one calendar year, which is January 1^st through December 31^st annually. All renewals will expire at midnight, December 31^st of each year, regardless of the date the previous permit/decal was issued. The permit/decal is non-transferrable; upon sale or transfer of ownership of a golf cart or low-speed vehicle, the new owner must complete an application and inspection before public road use.

Before the inspection, the applicant will pay the $100.00 registration fee upon submitting the application to the D’Iberville Police Department, along with a valid driver’s license and proof of liability insurance. The applicant will receive a copy of the city’s Ordinance No. 177. After the application review, an officer will contact the applicant to schedule an onsite inspection of the golf cart or low-speed vehicle. Upon a successful inspection, the applicant will receive an official decal to be visibly displayed on the left rear fender of the vehicle. The applicant may obtain a copy of the inspection form from the D’Iberville Police Department, and the original will be maintained on file with this agency.

Upon successful inspection and issuance of the decal, the golf cart may only be operated on the approved designated public roadways within the City of D’Iberville. All required equipment must be in working order, operated by a licensed driver, and have proof of insurance upon request. Issuance of permit/decal does not authorize the operator to violate the traffic laws of the State of Mississippi and must be adhered to while the vehicle is being operated on public roadways; failure to do so may result in the operator being issued a Uniform Traffic Citation. The City of D’Iberville reserves the right to revoke any permit for any violation of the city ordinance, and any golf cart or low-speed vehicle found to be operating on a public roadway without a valid decal could be subject to a citation for violation of this ordinance.
