Annual Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Permits

ICE permits are required to use ICE vehicles on Village-maintained roads.  Daily permits can be obtained at the barge office.  Permits must be renewed each year—applications open on July 1 (the button below will be activated at that time).

If you are adding a new, or “new to the island” vehicle, you can apply for a permit at most other times of the year at a prorated amount (click HERE for rates – we usually stop accepting online applications for the current year when folks start applying for renewals early). Rates are good through June 30^th of each year. 

After you apply, you will be contacted by the Public Safety Department to let you know if your permit has been approved and when it will be ready for pick-up at the Public Safety Building. Payments will be taken online after approval.

FLEET VEHICLES DEFINED – A fleet vehicle for purposes of the ICE Permit is a company that frequently travels to the island using one vehicle but because they have a fleet of vehicles on the mainland, the same vehicle may not be the same one that comes to BHI each time. For instance, GFL has a fleet of trucks and may rotate trucks for various routes so the same trucks do not come to the island each week.

ICE Special Use Permits

Special Use Permits are required to operate an ICE vehicle/trailer on Village streets at any time other than during workdays and to operate an ICE vehicle on streets where ICE vehicles are typically prohibited. 

Workdays are defined as the time period between 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.  The following holidays nationally observed or otherwise, shall be non-workdays:  New Year’s Day, Easter Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday, and Christmas Eve through Christmas day.  Provided, however, this definition shall not be construed to govern hours of work, such as on a job site, which is regulated by other Village Ordinances.

Annual and daily ICE Special Use Permits (SUPs) are available, currently for no additional fee, through the Public Safety Department. After you apply, you will be contacted by the Public Safety Department to let you know if your permit has been approved and when it will be ready for pick-up at the Public Safety Building.
