Pickup trucks and vans are not permitted to park on City residential streets without a special Residential Pickup Truck or Van Permit.
The free Residential Truck Permit can be obtained at your local alderman’s office. Please call your alderman’s office for more information. The Residential Truck Permit must be renewed and displayed each year by July 16, regardless of when your City Vehicle Sticker expires. This permit must be displayed in addition to a valid Chicago City Vehicle Sticker.
Qualifying Vehicles
9-64-170 of the Chicago Municipal Code defines a qualifying vehicle as a pickup truck or van weighing under 8,000 pounds, with no outstanding parking violations, and is displaying a valid and current City Vehicle Sticker.
Fines for Non-Compliance
A $75.00 ticket can be issued to any pickup truck or van on a residential street if a Residential Truck Permit is not displayed. This ticket can be issued to visitors of the City of Chicago, as well as residents.
