Parking

Parking tickets may be paid by mail, in person, by phone or online. There are no payment plans available to pay parking tickets.

Please note that fines associated with vehicles that have been immobilized (“booted”) cannot be paid online. Only cash or credit card payments are accepted and you must contact the City Collector’s office to make payment in person or by phone at 847-448-4311.

If the ticket is not paid by the original due date, the registered owner is mailed a second notice. The notice supplies information regarding the citation and options for paying or contesting the citation with an in-person, written or online hearing. The hearing will take place at the time indicated in the notice if payment or an alternate hearing request is not received prior to the hearing date on the notice. If the ticket is upheld in the adjudicated hearing, the registered owner has 21 days to pay the fine and applicable penalties.

Failure to pay or contest a citation within 35 days from the hearing decision may result in the matter being referred to a secondary collection agency.
