Vehicle Sticker Enforcement Letters

05/05/2022

The Village of Palatine started its special Vehicle Sticker Enforcement efforts. You may have received a letter in the mail reminding you to purchase a Village Vehicle Sticker. We are aware that some vehicle sticker compliance letters were sent in error to Palatine households and apologize.

If you feel you have received a notice in error and to help facilitate some of your questions here are some FAQ's we'd like to share with you:

Q: Do I need a vehicle sticker for a trailer?

A: No. If you received a letter for a trailer, please fill out the affidavit online here.

Q: Do I need a vehicle sticker for my car that has an antique license plate?

A: No, as long as it's registered as a specialty antique with the State of Illinois. (See the visual example below). Please fill out the affidavit online here.

Q: When entering my license plate number on the Village application to purchase my sticker do I include dashes?

A: Yes, but do not include any spaces.

Q: For specialty plates such as Truck B or a Cubs CC license plate do I include the "B" or "CC"?

A: No, do not include the letter "B" or "CC". (See the visual example below)

If you believe that you purchased a vehicle sticker for the 2021/2022 season and received a letter in error, please call the vehicle sticker hotline at 847-359-9079 or email vs@palatine.il.us. If emailing, please provide the following:
