WINTER PARKING POLICY
The Town of Nahant has a Winter Parking Policy requiring
that all vehicles must be parked off the street during
the hours of 12AM - 6AM from December 21, 2020 to
March 20, 2021. If you are a resident of Nahant and do
not have adequate off street parking, you may pick up a
Parking Waiver Application at the Nahant Police Station.
Once the application is submitted and reviewed you will
be notified upon its approval.
1. A $30 non refundable application fee is required
in order to process each request for a parking
waiver. This fee must be paid by check or money
order only and made payable to the “Town of
Nahant” prior to review of the application. Cash
Will Not Be Accepted.
2. All vehicles at the residence must be registered
to that address. If there are two off street parking
spaces, but there are three vehicles at the residence,
all three must be registered to that address in order
to qualify for one waiver permit needed for on
street parking. Commercial or lease vehicles must
have the operator/lesser residing at that address.
3. Persons applying for a parking waiver permit
must get off street parking when it snows or when
a snow emergency has been declared due to a
fore casted snow fall. All vehicles, with or without
a parking waiver, Must be off the street when it
snows or when a snow emergency has been declared
due to a foretasted snowfall.
4. Any vehicle left on the street during a snow storm
(whether a declared snow emergency or not) will
be subject to a fine for impeding Snow Removal,
which is $50. In addition, the registered owner
will also be subject to a towing charge when the
vehicle is removed from the street.
5. Violations (such as impeding snow removal) will
result in a review and possible Revocation of the
Parking Waiver.
6. All three Town Departments (Police, Fire and
Public Works) must approve the parking location
selected by the applicant. Should any of the departments
reject the location selected, the application
will be returned to the applicant so they
can find a suitable area to park.

Happy Holidays!
Dear Nahant Residents,
The Nahant Fire Department continues with measures
to protect personnel and the public from the spread of
COVID-19. We are very grateful for the support from the
community and we applaud the efforts of the residents as
they have adapted to the efforts to slow the spread of this virus.
The Fire Department has been able to continue with
its critical monthly training sessions while following
COVID-19 guidelines. The Nahant Fire Fighters Local
2718 has also continued with its annual drive for toys,
both as a collection point for the U.S. Marine Corp Toys
for Tots program and also gathering gifts in coordination
with the Johnson School for local distribution.
This fall we have had two call firefighters leave the department.
Firefighter Chris Dent had been a dedicated member
of the department for 8 years and resigned due to a move
further north. Firefighter Merissa Titus had been with the
department for 4 years and had to resign due to taking a
full-time firefighter position in the western part of the State.
We wish them both the best of luck, they will be missed.
The Nahant Fire Department will be conducting a new
hiring process for call firefighters this winter. The requirements
for this part-time (on call) position are:
• Be between the ages of 18-65
• High School diploma (or equivalent)
• Hold/maintain a valid Massachusetts driver’s license
• Reside within one mile of Nahant
• Successfully complete the application/screening process
including:
• Submission of resume, Interview, Physical Agility
Test, Criminal/motor vehicle background
check, and pre-employment physical including
drug screening.
• New hires will be required to successfully complete
the Massachusetts Call/Volunteer Fire
Academy when seats are available.
