The applicant must have either a current disabled Illinois license plate or a disabled placard issued by the Secretary of State when parked in the designated space.
Sign installation and maintenance costs must be paid by the applicant. For the first year, the cost for the sign is $70.00. In subsequent years the annual maintenance fee is $25.00. Please note: The fee may be waived if the applicant meets the disabled veteran or Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Property Tax Relief requirement.

If the Department of Revenue recommends that the signs be installed, notice will be sent to the applicant, the Alderman's Ward Office, the Committee on Traffic Control and Public Safety and the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities. The City Council will review the findings of the Traffic and Public Safety Committee and vote on the passage of the permit. If the Department of Revenue determines that signs cannot be recommended, notice will be sent to the applicant and the application fee refunded.
