Get Those Stickers
- Chicago car owners will have one more week to buy their city sticker online.
The City Clerk's Office extended the last day to buy a city sticker online from June 30 to July 7 due to "quick processing times," according to a news release.
This year also marks the last time everyone has the same deadline. Pro-rated stickers are available so that everyone will be purchasing city stickers 6-months after they buy a plate sticker.

Why can't we do this over our cell phone.? You can now pay for extra time at a parking meter using your cell, why not the city sticker. It would certainly save a lot of time and hassle.
Just asking
Why do we need these stupid stickers.....just another way to suck the money of the Chicago's citizens....
I saw the line at the Archer Avenue Clerks office stretch around the block which probably meant a wait time of over 2 hours. Pay the $5 service fee at any currency exchange and save yourself the headache of dealing with the assholes at the clerks office who are so pissed off that they have to work hard 1 month out of the year. Seriously, the way these workers talk to people makes me sick.
We are so blessed to be able to pay in so many ways to drive a car. A sticker here, a sticker there, it all adds up to some real money. It's a wonder people havn't started moving out of the county - state.
So even though I park my car in the garage can I get away with not buying one?
The countless members of the "community" who approached us yesterday asking if the city had a "delay" in issuing citations in effect (always July 15, but how could anyone be expected to remember that every year) "cause the system that printed the city stickers was down at all the currency exchanges fo hours!" The failure occurred of course many hours prior to any weather incident. This may have something to do with the internet extension. You gotta love these low bid / no bid contracts. If any business operated the way this city does they would be out of business in no time, but when you cater to and deal with the nitwits in the "community" you can get away with far more corruption and disruption in service than anyone else would allow for.
How about some gangster alderman propose that every June 30th be celebrated as 'Herbie Pulgar' day.
the new stickers look faded only after one week in the winshield
So now the bad guy will steal my plates and break my window for the sticker to match.
Why even have an extension? It's stupid
I haven't bought a city sticker for my three vehicles in three years. Of course I left that shithole three years ago.
Just changed my registration to out of the county property. Yeah!
Did you know that as long as you have a 773 or 312 area code on your phone number, no matter what state or county you reside in, you will continue to pay the 911 tax that Rahm just raised to the highest in the country?
Do I need one for my bicycle?
Does anyone know, under the new city sticker system, is there a grace period to by new city stickers after these old ones expire!
Or is it hammer time the day after they expire?
We used to have the courtesy of going into the clerks office and buying city stickers without waiting, but now that has changed, by order of city hall. No city employee gets any type of professional courtesy regarding buying stickers. No problem I paid the small fee at the local currency exchange, but surely will remember the non courtesy from the clerks office!

Do ya think? You my friend are definitely supervisor material.
After waiting for almost 2 hours in line trying to get a sticker which was lost in mail(bought it online 03Jun14).....I came to conclusion that it must be time to change my car ownership to uncle living in Indiana.

Would think so as long as you NEVER park on a city street and NEVER get stopped for a moving violation.

How easy it was to buy the city sticker on line. I am completely amazed why we cant vote for our F.O.P. president,contracts, etc... also online. Why do we still engage in this antiquated mail-in ballot system?
Every time I ask this question, i am given the "its too hard and complicated" tap dance.

Have an easier way. Save the $5.00 and the trip to the currency exchange. Ever hear of the mail? Mail the application in and you get the sticker in a week or so.

Maggie Daley Park and Free Chesse to the Workers
I now have a January renewal. When I'm out there trying to razor blade off the old sticker in freezing January weather, I'm gonna be muttering a few choice words about Susana Mendoza.
Will this year have any good gang symbolism art?
I've bought my last city sticker. The Idiot gave me the option of buying it for 6 months. $65.00 dollars. I'm out of this city in less than that.
20 and out.....
What you gotta do is get twenty or thirty people to chip in and get a P.O. Box at a UPS store, say like in a town you never go to....such as Niles. Then register your car to that address. Be a lot cheaper, that's like $150 a year divided by 20 or 30 people....nothing....
Why do we even need "Susie" the city clerk? How many millions are spent running that office? Couldn't revenue do the same job,as the city clerk duplicates revenue! Why not have the Secretary of State when you get your plate renewal just collect the fee with the plate? Would save millions! That city clerk elected is just a stepping stone to get free exposure to run for another office, how many clerks went to jail? Kozubowsji, laski how many more? That office needs total abolishment, look at city website showing high salaries, for what? Cut the alderman to max 12 bam more tax money saved that money could be funneled into the pension which the city owes big time!

legal answer is No. CPD, City Clerk and Dept Finance ticket writers can enter garages and parking lots and vacant lots to enforce the Wheel Tax Ordinance; AKA city sticker.
9-64-125 tax emblems are required on all vehicles owned by City Residents, period... regardless of the vehicles registration.
Memo went out to TheMouthbreathers...
Come July 16th their first targets are City Employee only parking lots.
I payed mine online and it was in my mailbox in three days, amazing, and no service charge added. Could not have been easier.

You have a pc and know how to post online. Do your sticker on line and save the time and trip to the currency exchange
Paid for and ordered on-line on May 30th, finally received it on June 30th. Nothing quick about that.
Just changed my registration to out of the county property. Yeah!

Yep,sure do. As long as you changed your registration change your phone number also and get an area code outside of Chicago.
Do I need one for my bicycle?

If your bicycle has a motor you do
7/02/2014 11:40:00 AM and if you are a city employee and someone finds out you are so fired. So I guess you must not work for the city.

Only 7 day extension this year. So targeting begins July 8th. This is to fool people who are accustomed to 15 day grace period. Wait until net time.... NO GRACE PERIOD!

A lot of people think they can get away with an outside-the-city registration but it comes back to where the owner's DL address is.
Lets see a "compliance" map that shows which neighborhood/ward bought the most stickers. The winner will get an additional day of street cleaning or tree trimming.

Maybe they just don't extend the courtesy to you.........lol
legal answer is No. CPD, City Clerk and Dept Finance ticket writers can enter garages.....
Your "legal answer" sucks. I'm knocking the shit out of anyone who enters my garage.I understand that you may be talking about open air garages, but clarify your self lawyer.
It's hammer time the day after they expire!
I mailed my check into the City Clerk back on May 27th. It cleared the city bank account. Still no city sticker. What's with these people?

YOU ARE WRONG. The grace period this year for enforcement is 15 July. The extension for purchasing stickers ON LINE is 07 July.

False.
You pay the extra city/state taxes on your cell phone according to your address, not your area code. This is from the mobile communications act passed in 2002. Its law. Please dont start rumors.
Incorrect on the area code. I changed my address on my phone to city outside of Crook County and immediately saved on my bill. No city tax and no city 911 tax. Still use a 773 area code.

No you dork. The extension is for Online ordering with the original end date being June 30th.
The only city sticker tickets being issued before July 16 are for Improper Display Or for vehicles that Don't Have one at all and are required to have one.

Okay smartness:
Any garage or parking lot or accessory lot that is open to pedestrian traffic.
If the vehicle isn't behind a closed/locked 24hour No Public access possible gate/fence/door them I can ticket the shit out of the vehicle every 24 hour Legally.
And I've seen ofc. Do just that and more. Got a district PO in Austin rolling around with the old ticket machine writing city sticker tickets. Got a couple of ofc out in Bridgeport that roll through alleys and airmail city sticker tickets to vehicles in areas where they legally Can't be ticketed.
So don't give us that "knock the..." Shit here internet tough guy.
I'm not the original poster, but it was the legal answer
No city sticker fee up here in Lake Geneva Wisconsin.
Funny
they took care of me at the clerks office downtown.
and i was not in uniform.
some of us need to brush up on our skills when dealing with the public.
And NO i work in 002...

All Chicago residents using his or her vehicle in the City must have a Chicago City Vehicle Sticker, regardless of where the vehicle is registered. Failure to do so can result in a minimum $200.00 ticket and additional fees.
RE: A lot of people think they can get away with an outside-the-city registration but it comes back to where the owner's DL address is
Been doing it for years, oh and my DL address is the P.O. Box too.....and no messy stickers to screw up my windshield...another perk...
I mailed my check into the City Clerk back on May 27th. It cleared the city bank account. Still no city sticker. What's with these people?
7/02/2014 08:43:00 PM
Whats wrong with these people? You mailed it one week ago(back on May27) For a sticker to be processed you expect within a week to mail it,have them process it and mail it back and you to receive it in less than a week,good luck with that.
10:54 AM
May (NOT June) 27th was more than FIVE (5) weeks ago.
Again, what's with these people?
HEY - whatever happened to his song?
