City of Lake Forest, IL

If you want to visit Forest Park Beach or drop items at the Recycling & Compost Center, you need a Lake Forest vehicle sticker! Per City Ordinance, Lake Forest residents are required to purchase a vehicle sticker for all vehicles registered to Lake Forest.

The current 2023-24 vehicle sticker featuring the the Lake Forest Library expires on April 30, 2024. The 2024-25 vehicle sticker features Gorton Center. Purchase your 2024-25 vehicle sticker online or in the Lake Forest Now App. Vehicle stickers must be purchased by April 30 and displayed by May 1 to avoid a late fee and an ordinance violation.
