Only 2011-2012 residential parking daily passes are being sold online at this time. If you are attempting to purchase residential permit parking daily passes online for the first time in the 2011-2012 city sticker renewal year and this purchase is not in conjunction with a city vehicle sticker purchase, you must visit a City Clerk facility and provide proof of residency to obtain your passes. Once you purchase daily passes in person for the renewal season, you can then go online for the remainder of the sticker year and purchase daily passes as you have done before.
You must buy a city vehicle sticker if you own or lease a car and live in the City of Chicago more than 30 days out of the year, regardless of where the car is registered.
You have 30 days from the day you move to Chicago or purchase a car to buy 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
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. You are not required to purchase residential parking if you live on a zoned street. You only need to purchase annual residential parking if you park on a zoned street.
Adding Residential Parking to Your Existing City Vehicle Sticker
A current city vehicle sticker is required to be eligible to add or charge an annual residential permit parking zone number printed on your city sticker.
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). 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 an annual residential parking zone number to your sticker is $25. If you move from one zone to another zone, the cost to change your zone number is $10.
About Daily Residential Guest Passes
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, up to 30 daily passes can be purchased every 30 days per zoned address. Daily passes are $8 for a set of 15 passes. These passes expire on June 30th of each year.
Daily passes can be purchased online here. Please be advised that only two books of passes (30 passes for $16) can be purchased online at a time. If you would like to purchase only one book (15 passes for $8), you will need to do so in person.
