Streets west of Broadway in the 44th Ward fall under Zone 383, which requires a Zone 383 parking permit from certain marked hours, or 24 hours a day (see a Zone 383 map here) via either a daily pass or an annual City Sticker. Every vehicle in the city for 30 days or more must have a Chicago City Sticker, regardless of in which city or state it is registered. Commercial streets are equipped with parking meters that require payment during designated hours. Additionally, please be mindful of signage regulating parking for street cleaning, Cubs games, rush hour, loading zones, handicapped spaces, and temporary no parking signs.

Buying Annual City Stickers & Daily Residential Parking Permits (‘Daily Passes’/’Guest Passes’)
Annual city stickers are DIFFERENT from the 24-hour 383 Daily Residential Parking Permits (also known as ‘daily passes’ or ‘guest passes,’ etc). Our office ONLY sells daily passes. You can purchase annual city stickers at a City Clerk location or several local currency exchanges – instructions and locations below.
See the graphic and text below for more details:
Daily Residential Parking Permits/Daily Guest Passes (valid for 24 hours from the time of posting) are available to 44th Ward residents who have registered with the City Clerk’s office. The 44th Ward Service Office (3223 N Sheffield Ave) prints daily passes on demand and can be purchased in sheets of 15 for $15.00 (limit 45 guest permits (3 sheets) per residential unit every 30 days – NO exceptions, CASH NOT ACCEPTED).
You can purchase daily passes or register for them at a City Clerk location in-person, or online. As mentioned above, registering allows you to purchase them from our Lakeview office. To register online, complete the form on this page. To purchase daily passes online, use this page. Expect up to 2 weeks for online registration/purchase of daily passes, and same-day for in-person visits.
Purchasing annual city stickers does not necessarily mean you have an account with the City Clerk’s Office to buy daily passes. If you have not purchased daily passes before please contact the office at (773) 525-6034 to confirm you have an account.
