Recreation Photo IDs & Punch Cards

Each parcel that is assessed a Recreation Fee is eligible to receive a combination of Recreation Photo IDs and Recreation Punch Cards, totaling five, as suits their personal needs.   These cards are paid for with the annual Recreation Fee that is reflected on your Washoe County tax bill.  These Photo IDs and Punch Cards allow the holder to pay a reduced Resident Rate at all IVGID facilities.

A property owner may pay a fee (one-fifth of the current Recreation Fee) for each additional Recreation Photo ID and/or Punch Card in excess of five. Any additional purchased passes may not be used for reduced rates at either IVGID golf course.  The same policy applies to those property owners who pay a reduced annual Recreation Fee and who do not receive beach privileges. Individuals who fall under this classification may also purchase additional passes and/or cards at one-fifth their current Recreation Fee, excluding beach access and golf privileges.

Photo IDs and Punch Cards are issued at the Incline Village Parks & Recreation Department Counter (located in the Recreation Center at 980 Incline Way) during regular business hours.  Use of Photo IDs and Punch Cards is detailed below.  For more detailed information on the Recreation Fee and associated privileges please view the Recreation Privileges Booklet or pick one up at the Parks & Recreation Department Counter.
