All vehicles that are principally garaged in Chicago more than 30 days must purchase a vehicle sticker. In addition, if the vehicle parks on the street in a residential parking zone, the vehicle must either display an annual residential parking sticker (number is printed on your annual vehicle sticker) or a daily residential guest pass (valid for 24 hours).
Residential parking permit (RPP) zones limit parking to residents and their guests during specified hours. This program helps to ensure that residents of densely populated areas have reasonable access to parking near their residences. Vehicles parked in an RPP zone must display an RPP annual permit or daily pass on their windshield or they may be ticketed. Motorcycles and scooters may park in RPP zones without displaying an annual or visitor residential parking permit.
About Annual Residential Parking
There is no longer a separate annual residential permit parking sticker. If you purchase an annual residential parking permit, your new vehicle sticker will now include your residential parking permit zone number (as depicted below). The permit parking zone number is printed right on the vehicle sticker.
Annual residential parking is $25, in addition to the cost of your vehicle sticker.
Annual permits are available for RPP zone resident’s vehicles. There is a limit of one RPP zone permit per vehicle. The annual permits expire on June 30th of each year.
Adding Residential Parking to Your Existing City Vehicle Sticker
A current city vehicle sticker is required to purchase an annual residential permit parking sticker. Proof of purchase must be presented at the time of purchase.
If you need to have residential zone parking added to your existing sticker that you already received, you must bring in the sticker to a City Clerk office location (City Hall, Room 107 or our satellite offices listed to the right). Peel the sticker from your car window and bring in the sticker (in whatever condition) and your original receipt to have residential zone parking added to your sticker. You will also need to bring in proof of your current address (see below). The cost to add ann annual residential parking zone number to your sticker is $25.
About Daily Residential Guest
A city vehicle sticker or annual residential permit parking sticker are not required to purchase daily passes. However, you must show proof of residency using one of the below mentioned valid forms of proof of residency and a photo ID.
Daily passes are for guests of a RPP zone resident. The pass is valid for no more than 24 hours from the time written on the permit. All other traffic restrictions must be followed while displaying a permit. By ordinance, an RPP zone resident can purchase up to 30 daily passes every 30 days. Daily passes are $8 for a set of 15 passes. These passes expire on June 30 each year.
