Ordinance Amends Overnight Parking Rules
Beginning on July 1, vehicles parked on Village residential streets between the hours of 2 - 6 AM will be required to display a valid Village vehicle sticker, a placard or an overnight parking permit or they will be ticketed. The new parking placard is an option for residents who bring a small business vehicle, that is registered outside of Franklin Park, to their home and need to park it in the Village overnight.
Also beginning on July 1, the Franklin Park Police Station will no longer take requests for overnight parking for guests over the phone. Overnight parking permits will only be available for purchase in person at the Police Station. For more information, call 847-671-8200 or attend the Community Presentation on June 18 at 6:30 at the Police Station. You can learn more about these changes by reading a Village Press Release and the Village's June Newsletter.

2024-25 Vehicle Sticker Information
Renewal applications for the Village’s 2024-25 vehicle sticker will be mailed at the end of May. Every vehicle (including cars, trucks, and motorcycles) that is owned by or registered to a Franklin Park resident is required to have a valid vehicle sticker to operate or store the vehicle.
A valid vehicle sticker allows you to park on most Village streets, but you still must obey parking restrictions posted on signs. For example, having a Village vehicle sticker does not mean you can park on streets that indicate “Resident Parking Only” because that means only residents who live on that street can park there.
Passenger car stickers cost $30. Seniors receive one free vehicle sticker per household. Also, active-duty service members of the U.S. Armed Forces receive one free vehicle sticker per household. Veterans pay a reduced rate of $15 for one vehicle sticker per household. Owners of electric vehicles receive a free vehicle sticker and hybrid vehicles pay a reduced rate of $15.
To renew online: Franklin Park V-Pay (green-pay.us)
You may also renew stickers via mail or by using the Village Hall parking lot drop box to avoid long lines to purchase stickers at Village Hall. Renew early to avoid a processing back-up causing a long wait to receive your sticker. If you have questions, call (847) 671-4800.
This year’s vehicle stickers celebrate the 100th anniversary of Leyden High Schools District 212. The design on the left was drawn by Noelly Delgado and the design on the right was drawn by Jonathan Gonzalez, two talented art students at East Leyden. The designs celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Leyden High Schools.
