When the pass starts working

A physical sticker is mailed (the 2026 batch began June 1, 2026) or issued at Town Hall. Display it on the driver’s side corner of the windshield.

Steps

  1. Complete the 2026–2027 Sticker Application (or the Nonresident Sticker Application for single-trip passes).
  2. Attach a copy of the current registration for each vehicle, and any extra documents your situation needs.
  3. Include a check or money order payable to “Town of Mashpee” for the total due.
  4. Mail it to Sticker Office, Mashpee Town Hall, 16 Great Neck Road North, Mashpee, MA 02649. Incomplete applications are held at the Town Clerk’s Office.

Mail-in steps are from the town’s 2026/2027 application. The online steps are not listed because the portal start page showed none.

About the online portal: The portal start page loads and uses a name-and-address lookup. It shows no transfer station price, adds a 3.99% or $1.50 convenience charge (whichever is greater), accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express, and describes no account. Checkout was not tested.

  • Whether visitors can buy a single-trip pass at the gatehouse; the brochure says passes are sold at the Town Clerk’s Office, and the regulations also name the gatehouse.
  • Whether the 5-bag limit and $3 extra-bag fee on the brochure apply to every single-trip pass.
  • The online portal: price and checkout steps were not visible.
  • Pages 7–8 of the regulations (enforcement and the recycling appendix) were not read.
