Summary
Oyster Bay's Public Parking District designates certain streets, mostly near Long Island Rail Road stations, as restricted parking area thoroughfares under § 233-111. No vehicle may park there without a Town Clerk-issued permit and numbered sticker displayed on the rear of the vehicle, per § 233-100. Town domiciliaries and incorporated-village domiciliaries pay different fees for two-year and one-year permits.
No vehicle shall be parked or permitted to stand in any of the restricted parking areas unless a proper permit and sticker, bearing the number of the permit and the year for which the same shall be issued, has been obtained for the vehicle from the Town Clerk and the sticker is affixed and conspicuously displayed on the rear of the vehicle, as directed by the Town Clerk. The Town Clerk is authorized, three months prior to the commencement of a permit year or permit period, to issue a permit and sticker for said permit year or permit period, which permit and sticker may be validly used during said three-month period and through the ensuing permit year or permit period.

Full Breakdown
Article II, Division 4 of Chapter 233 creates the Town of Oyster Bay Public Parking District and lets the Town Board designate any parking field or roadway within it as a "restricted parking area" by resolution (§ 233-99). Section 233-100 bars parking there without a Town Clerk-issued permit and dated sticker affixed to the rear of the vehicle; the Clerk can issue that sticker up to three months ahead of the permit period so it carries through the full term. Section 233-101 covers domiciliaries of the Town who do not live in one of its incorporated villages: a two-year permit costs $100 (or $20 for residents 62 and older), running from April 1 of even-numbered years, with a prorated $50/$10 rate for permits bought after that cycle starts.
Section 233-102 sets a parallel one-year track for domiciliaries of an incorporated village inside the Town, at $120 per year ($10 for seniors), renewing every April 1. Section 233-111 enumerates the actual restricted thoroughfares, for example Station Plaza South and West Barclay Street in Hicksville, both adjacent to the Long Island Rail Road parking field. Permits are non-transferable (§ 233-104), subject to space availability (§ 233-103), and can be withheld for a permit-year from anyone whose permit was previously revoked (§ 233-105). Damaging a posted sign in these zones is separately unlawful under § 233-106.
Violations & Fines
Parking or standing without the required sticker in a restricted area is punishable under § 233-109 the same as any offense in this division of Chapter 233, and the county police department can tow and impound the vehicle under § 233-110 at up to $10 for towing plus $1 per day storage, billed to the owner before release. Unauthorized use of another vehicle's sticker or transferring a permit is separately barred by § 233-104.
