Pursuant to City ordinance, every owner of a motor vehicle that is (a) registered in the City of Highland Park and (b) stored or garaged at any time within the boundaries of the City of Highland Park must purchase and properly display a City of Highland Park vehicle sticker by October 1st. All licenses purchased after October 1, 2008, will be subject to a late penalty fee of $10, as indicated in the City's Fee Schedule.

Pre-printed renewal application forms are mailed to residents in August. Please read and follow the instructions on the application and review all preprinted information for accuracy.

Online Renewal
Online Renewal is closed for the 2008/2009 vehicle sticker season. Online Renewal will be available for the 2009/2010 vehicle sticker season as renewal applications are mailed to residents in late August 2009.

Renewal by Mail
The City strongly encourages you to avoid waiting in line by mailing applications to the address indicated on the enclosed return envelope. Completed applications returned via U.S. Mail will be sent to an automated banking facility, where renewals will be immediately processed. This change should reduce the time that it takes to both process applications and deposit revenues. Make any necessary corrections directly on the form and return the entire application with the appropriate fee. If you did not receive an application by mail, simply click here to request one. Checks should be made payable to: City of Highland Park. PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH. To ensure that your vehicle sticker is returned to you prior to the October 1st deadline, please allow sufficient time for processing and return mail. Residents may purchase vehicle stickers at City Hall between 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday

How to Display Your Sticker
Highland Park vehicle stickers must be placed on the inner lower left-hand side (driver side) of the front windshield. Water is not necessary, and tape must not be used to attach the sticker to the windshield. Proof of purchase is required by the City to receive a transfer (new vehicle) or replacement sticker.

For More Information
Revenues generated from vehicle stickers assist the City in funding necessary street maintenance projects and repairs. Any additional inquiries can be directed to City Hall at (847) 432-0800.
