That looks about how the note has read the last few times I have got my yearly permit.

Re: Taylor County Parking Permits
That was original the plan but I talked to the guy taking money at the Keaton public ramp Friday and he said the county "put the cart before the horse on that one." Said they are giving it another look due to community backlash over it. It's way cheaper for me to buy the year pass but I can see where local businesses could be upset about it.Hit-n-Miss wrote:So you can't launch if you don't have annual permit???

Re: Taylor County Parking Permits
. I plan on getting one. But was wondering. I could see where it could keep people away that only come for scalloping a couple times. Be like buying a year license to fish the weekend.Apalachee Inshore wrote:That was original the plan but I talked to the guy taking money at the Keaton public ramp Friday and he said the county "put the cart before the horse on that one."

Re: Taylor County Parking Permits
As my economics professor used to say, TANSTAFL--There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. (And no, it wasn't a late night Trump tweet! )
It costs significant money to build ramps and is a long process for permitting, site prep, parking, etc. And once a ramp is built, it takes more money to maintain it. The ramp elves didn't repair those facilities in record time after Hurricane Hermine and they don't pick up trash and empty the porta-johns, either.
Many ramps charge as much as $15 to $20 per launch so the $30 or so for an annual pass is a bargain. For those occasional users complaining, they should consider it a cheap payment for using a public resource. Just my .02.

Re: Taylor County Parking Permits
I noticed quite a few out of area plates at the Keaton ramp last time. I don't know how they would make it work to demand a yearly pass or else. But good to know about this, I bought one yesterday, good deal since I have spent $20 in the last two months at Keaton. Now I am set of the rest of the year.
I know I'll get crap for this but I feel all users of the ramp should pay, motorized or not. We all are using the parking lot, try sharing the expense for the upkeep.

Re: Taylor County Parking Permits
I think Sea Hag in Steinhatchee is the ring leader for the crowd against it. They posted a map on Facebook giving their customers directions to the Dixie County landing. I thought that was pretty salty.silverking wrote:As my economics professor used to say, TANSTAFL--There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. (And no, it wasn't a late night Trump tweet! )

Charlie (I think that's the name of the owner of Sea Hag) is the only one I've heard complaining.... After my experience with him after he took over Keaton Beach Marina, I couldn't give two sh*ts what he thinks!

Taylor County Parking Permits
Just ordered mine. But I scallop and fish Keaton at least 6 or more times a year so it's worth it.

Re: Taylor County Parking Permits
The ramp at St. Marks next to the fort is also 30.00 for an annual pass which I think is a bargain.

Steinhatchee bait and tackle shack posted the following on their Facebook page:
Great news! The Taylor County Boat Ramp fees will remain the same for at least 90 days, $20 annually and $5 per day. There will be a Boat Ramp Work Shop, in which all business owners will be included, scheduled to discuss the outcome.

Re: Taylor County Parking Permits
that does not cover the ramp in St Marks at the Fort, that is a county pass for the county run boat ramps. The City of St. Marks charges 30.00 for the annual pass for their boat ramp.

Re: Taylor County Parking Permits
Looks like your right Tom. The lady that I spoke to said the fort was included, but rock landing wasn't. Wrong on both.
