The display deadline is May 1st. Will I get a ticket if I purchase my sticker online but haven't yet received it?
The Hinsdale Police Department enforces the May 1st purchase/display deadline with the mailing delay being taken into consideration. This way, customers will have time to purchase online all the way up to May 1st. Online purchases made AFTER May 1st could result in a citation being issued if the vehicle is observed parked on a Village street or parking lot without a valid sticker displayed.
I sold my car and bought a new vehicle. Can I re-use my current sticker?
No. A replacement sticker can be obtained for $2.00 from Village Hall.
My windshield cracked and had to be replaced. Do I need to get a new vehicle sticker?
