In addition, the Customer Service Representatives (CSR) report to the Communications Department.  The CSR responsibilities include issuing vehicle access decals for homeowners, employees, contractors, etc., registering golf carts, assisting new owners, and addressing a variety of other issues and needs of our customers. The office hours are Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed for lunch 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. 

Owner Vehicle Decals
Black Electronic Access Decals (RFID) are the current homeowner vehicle decals and remain in effect as long as you are an owner, or as long as you own the car for which the RFID is assigned. Each owner may receive 2 RFIDs free and purchase up to 3 more.  In order to receive an RFID, please bring your vehicle registration/tag receipt into the office as they may only be issued for vehicles that are registered to the property owner. If you have family members that visit often, you may register them as permanent guests on the Guest Registration Website.

Golf Cart Decals
All golf carts that are operated on the roadways are required to be registered with the SOA.  Each owner may have only two carts registered, regardless of the number of units owned.  In order to register your cart, please bring proof of insurance which identifies your golf cart specifically via the year make model and vin/serial number and the cart to the SOA office.  If you are purchasing a new Golf Cart, please be sure to read the Golf Cart Policy (Rev. 10.26.2023) in order to ensure it complies with the requirements for registration.  Please note, some neighborhood associations have golf cart parking restrictions which may require a Parking Authorization Form prior to registering a golf cart at the SOA. Please check with your neighborhood association manager regarding any restrictions prior to purchasing a cart.   

Community Transportation
The Sandestin community transportation (tram service) is provided by Sand Dollar Transportation. All owners may access the tram by showing their owner ID card. If you have guests and/or family members with you, they may also board. If you have guests or family members that you would like to be able to utilize the service when they are not accompanied by you, a membership/contract with Sand Dollar Transportation is required.  In most cases, your rental management company will take care of the contract.  If you are not using a rental management company, please contact Sand Dollar Transportation directly for details regarding the membership fees, etc. (850) 687-9650 or visit
