ANNA MARIA – The city of Anna Maria is issuing new, bright yellow “State of Emergency” re-entry passes to Anna Maria property owners and business owners.
One side of the new pass says, “In the event of an evacuation you will need this pass to access the City of Anna Maria. Access information can be obtained at cityofannamaria.com.” The other side of the pass has a January 2027 expiration date and a tag number. Previously issued reentry passes are no longer valid.
The new reentry passes are available at the clerk’s window at Anna Maria City Hall, 10005 Gulf Drive. There is a limit of two passes per residential property or commercial property.
To obtain reentry passes, residents must show a valid ID with an Anna Maria address or a utility bill or some other document that confirms residency. Non-resident residential property owners, including vacation rental owners, must show a valid ID and a utility bill or other document that confirms property ownership in Anna Maria. Business owners must show a valid ID that doesn’t need to have an Anna Maria address and a utility bill or other document that confirms the Anna Maria business address. Reentry passes will not be issued to contractors unless they are state-approved contractors.
For more information, call 941-708-6130. The cities of Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach also issue reentry passes. Contact those city clerk’s offices for more information. The 2025 hurricane season begins on June 1.
