Parking

The City Clerk's Office collects parking ticket payments and distributes parking stickers for the boat ramp and winter overnight parking.

Parking Tickets

Payment is due within 21 days of ticket issuance. Tickets can be paid at the City Clerk's Office, or online.

To appeal a parking ticket, an appeal form (PDF) must be filled out and received by the City Clerk's Office within 21 days of issuance.

After 21 days, a notice is mailed with a $5 late fee applied to the ticket. After an additional 30 days a second notice is mailed with another $5 late fee. Thirty days after the second notice a $20 registry fee is applied and the license and registration is marked at the Registry of Motor Vehicles as non-renewable.

Boat Ramp Parking Stickers

Stickers are available for Amesbury residents at no charge to park at the boat ramp on Merrimac Street. To pick up a sticker, please bring the vehicle registration showing an Amesbury address to the City Clerk's Office.
