As we approach the upcoming storm season, Sanibel and Captiva islands are implementing new 2024 hurricane passes. Sanibel Police Chief William Dalton recently announced that passes from 2021 and 2022 will no longer be valid.
As of today, May 14, the new passes are not yet available. The city will notify the community once the 2024 passes are ready for distribution.
Application Details:
Who Needs a Pass?
Property owners, residents, and businesses on Sanibel and Captiva islands must apply for the Hurricane Reentry Pass Program. These passes ensure authorized individuals can access their properties quickly and securely after an evacuation order.

Businesses: One to two passes per address.
Discard Old Passes:
Please dispose of any old hurricane passes, as they are no longer valid.
