If you live in Chicago and own a vehicle, you need a current city sticker on the inside of your front windshield in the lower corner on the passenger side. It basically signifies that you paid the annual tax for owning and operating a vehicle in Chicago.
The stickers are valid from July 1 to June 30 every year. If you don't get the newest sticker on your car by the middle of July, you can expect some orange rectangles of ticket love on your windshield instead.
You can also expect to pay more for your sticker if you miss the June 30 deadline. So, use this guide to find out where to buy your stickers.
