Vehicle Sticker Enforcement
Did you purchase your 2021-22 Vehicle Sticker? The last day to purchase a sticker at the discounted rate was April 30. However, you can still purchase your sticker, and we encourage you to do so before the Police Department begins enforcement later this month. If your vehicle is registered to an Elmhurst address and is not displaying a current sticker, you could receive a ticket and pay a penalty for late purchase. Get your sticker today (and make sure it is displayed) to avoid extra costs (and avoid the lines). Learn More.
