Parking Guide
All new residents must register vehicles used in the
City of Chicago by obtaining a city sticker within 30
days. Stickers are available for purchase at the City
Clerk’s Office at City Hall, 121 N. LaSalle St., Room
107, (312) 744-6861, or at the City Clerk Satellite
Office, 5430 N. Gale St., (312) 742-5318. They can
also be purchased at many currency exchanges. Prices
range based on size and type of the vehicle; see
www.chicago47.org/resident/parking/city-vehiclestickers.
Residential zone parking permits are included on
your city sticker if required to park on your block for
an additional $25 fee. The sticker and guest passes can
be purchased at the City Clerk’s office at City Hall,
121 N. Lasalle St., Room 107, (312) 744-6861, or at the
City Clerk Satellite Offices, 5430 N. Gale Street,
(312) 742-5318. Additional permit parking information
available at
www.chicago47.org/resident/parking/residentialpermit-parking.
LV2 (Cubs Night Game) permits and guest passes
are available here, at the 47th Ward Public Service
Office, 4243 N. Lincoln Ave., (773) 868-4747.
Be aware of where you park your car in the ward!
With several business corridors and transportation
hubs in our ward, parking can be difficult.
Any business district could have metered parking but
not all do. Keep an eye out for signs indicating pay
parking, directing you to the pay box. Several
residential permit parking zones cover over 60 blocks
in the ward have residential permit parking in place.
You must have the correct zone permit to park in an
area. Some zones have different hours from one block
to the next so it is important to be aware of the posted
restrictions.
