​Moving Day No Parking Signs
​​No Parking signs for residential moves are available to 32nd Ward residents. To obtain these signs, please come to our office at least 24 hours in advance of the move with proof of residence. Parking signs are available for the hours between 6:00 AM-6:00 PM. Residents may not reserve space for more than one day at a time. Please note that these signs are not enforceable.
​​
The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) also provides No Parking signs for residential moves. For a fee of $25.00, CDOT will provide enforceable signs (for ticketing or towing) for the day of the move. For more information on this program, please contact CDOT at (312) 744-4652.​​

Residential Permit Parking
Certain streets in the 32nd Ward restrict parking to neighborhood residents. Vehicles parking on these streets are required to display a valid residential parking permit during specified hours. Only residents of zoned streets and adjacent buffer zones (streets that touch a street that has zoned parking) are eligible to purchase parking permits; no exceptions. Businesses are not eligible to receive residential parking permits. Click here to check if you are eligible for a residential parking permit.

Daily Residential Parking Passes (RPP)
Daily passes for guests of those living in zoned parking areas are available at the 32nd Ward office; we do not sell the annual permit. The City Clerk’s office has instituted several new requirements for people seeking to purchase daily passes. Please bring your Driver’s License, or a utility bill or lease if your license does not reflect your current address. We highly encourage you to bring an updated Driver’s License or State ID that reflects your current address as we are unable to update the City Clerk’s System. We can send the Clerk’s office your proof of address and request that they remotely issue a customer code, but they may not issue your code until the next day.
Per the City Clerk, you must pay with a credit card or debit card; we cannot accept cash.
You are also able to purchase daily passes online at the City Clerk’s website if your Driver’s License or State ID matches your current address. Please be aware that once you submit your order, you will not be able to purchase additional passes for 30 days. As it may take up to 10 business days for you to receive your passes in the mail, you should purchase them in person if you need them sooner.
