Public

re-registered BEFORE then. Proof of liability insurance will be required
at time of registration. You need to include the cart’s make/model,
serial number, effective policy dates and numbers, as well as the name of
the insuring agency. New proof of insurance is required with current
activation dates. For convenience, you can fax your paperwork to the
Department of Public Safety at 910-457-4585 prior to registration.
Registrations can also now be

FIRST
TIME REGISTRATIONS:
The
initial registration of a golf cart (first time on island, initial
application) must be completed at the Department of Public
Safety with staff. Measurements of the cart must be
taken to reflect current village ordinance. Cart must meet requirements
as specified in village ordinance. Staff shall affix a numbered sticker
to the lowest, most clearly visible point on the front left-side of the
electric cart and one sticker on the rear of the electric cart. The
small yearly sticker will be placed on the surface of the registration
sticker in the bottom corner.
Per
Village Ordinance, liability coverage must be provided during
registrations. The coverage must meet the standards set by the
NCDMV. This can be accomplished by the golf cart owner attesting to
said insurance requirements by providing the company and policy number
and signing affirming same. No part of a first-time registration
can be completed online.
You
may register your golf cart for the $15 annual fee at the Department of
Public Safety Monday thru Friday, 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM. After hours or
weekend registrations can be arranged via appointment by calling

Economic Incline on the
Horizon?
On
December 2nd, Catherine Rampell wrote a column in the New York
Times entitled: Jobless Rate Dips to Lowest Level in
More Than 2 Years. The
report highlights that the US unemployment rate dropped to 8.6%, making
this the lowest rate in 2.5 years. Also reported by the Labor Department
that employers nationally have added 120,000 jobs in November alone,
which the previous two months’ actually being higher than initially
reported as well. Also reported via the NY Times on December 8th
via Reuters is that the Jobless Claim Rate (people currently filing for
unemployment) is at a 9 month low as of this past week, lending strength
to the earlier opinions that the labor market is strengthening and in
repair.
The BHI market has strengthened as well. At
this moment, the Island has seen 101 sales for 2011. The last year to see
sales at this number was 2006, at which time 105 properties were sold.
Common opinion is that we will surpass that number by close of business
day on December 31st. WWP itself has several properties in the
works to close by end of year! The economic improvements, a BHI market
that is ready to start recovering, attractive interest rates, and a
fantastic selection of prime Island properties … the only question you
should really be asking yourself is “why not?” Call one of our skilled and experienced
brokers to discuss your goals and Island visions… let us help you turn
the corner of those dreams and put your hands on a real opportunity!
