Alright. It's official. The City of Oxford if now a PTV/ Golf Cart Community. This will allow our residence to get out and drive their registered PTV/ golf carts throughout the city on APPROVED roadways.

Here is the way to get your PTV/ golf cart registered:
Get an application, pay $15, follow the guide lines for the proper equipment and insurance to make it legal for the city streets. Our officers will come to your house and inspect your PTV/ golf cart and will inform you if your PTV/ golf cart passed all the requirements necessary. If so, you get the permit ( 2 decal stickers) to be placed on the front and rear of your PTV/golf cart.
