Village sticker prices

Residents who own an antique vehicle and have a State of Illinois antique license plate will now be able to purchase a $11 annual village license fee rather than paying the $37 passenger vehicle fee. The Village Board decided vehicles with State of Illinois antique plates are meant to travel infrequently on the streets and should not be required to pay the same fee as regular passenger vehicles that frequently use the Village’s streets. Residents are reminded that they must purchase a vehicle license for all vehicles housed in Westchester, as well as for all vehicles that are registered through the State of Illinois with a Westchester address. For example, vehicles that may be used at a second residence that are registered to their Westchester address are required to have a Westchester vehicle license. All vehicles on Pelham St and Gardner Rd an additional “P” Parking Sticker - no additional charge. Commercial Parking $75.00 (one per address) in this artwork is represented by the tree which is very beautiful in every season.

Congratulations Diana Lepak.
