City ordinance requires all motor vehicles registered or housed in
The City of Lake Forest to display Lake Forest Vehicle Sticker. Any
vehicle registered to The City of Lake Forest without a vehicle
sticker displayed is subject to fine or penalties. The vehicle
sticker year is May 1 to April 30. The deadline for purchasing and
displaying current stickers is April 30. Beginning May 1, a 50% late
fee is added, and the resident will be at risk of receiving a $75.00
ticket from the Police Department. The fees for motor vehicle
stickers are listed below. New Lake Forest residents should obtain a vehicle sticker after registering their vehicle to their Lake Forest address through the Illinois Secretary of State. Please bring the vehicle registration,
along with proof of residency, to
Municipal Services to purchase your vehicle sticker. Lake Forest residents whose vehicles are registered outside of The City of Lake Forest have the option of purchasing a Beach Parking sticker, which allows parking at
the north end of Forest Park Beach and access to the Compost Center. Please bring your current vehicle registration to
Municipal Services to
purchase your Beach Parking sticker over the counter.
View a flyer regarding vehicle sticker information for new residents. Those who purchase a new vehicle should obtain a vehicle sticker within 72 hours of the vehicle purchase. Please bring the vehicle purchase receipt to Municipal Services so the purchase date can be verified and the late fee will be waived. Parking at Forest Park Beach or use of the Compost Center in The City of Lake Forest is prohibited unless the vehicle displays a City of Lake Forest vehicle sticker or Beach Parking sticker.
