Skokie allows daytime on-street parking in most residential neighborhoods but enforces overnight parking restrictions from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM without a permit. Signed time limits, snow route restrictions, and street sweeping rules also apply.
The Village of Skokie prohibits parking on public streets between 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM unless the vehicle displays a valid overnight parking permit or is parked in a designated permitted area. Daytime parking is generally permitted but subject to posted time limits, typically 2 hours in commercial districts and near transit stations. Parking is prohibited within 15 feet of fire hydrants, within 20 feet of crosswalks, and in marked no-parking zones. Street sweeping restrictions apply on posted days, with tickets issued to vehicles blocking the sweeper. Snow route parking bans apply after 2 inches of snowfall. Contact Skokie Police Parking at (847) 982-5900 or use the village website for permit applications.
Overnight parking violations typically result in $35 to $50 tickets. Parking near hydrants or in no-parking zones may result in $75 to $100 fines plus potential towing. Snow route violations carry $75 fines and immediate towing at owner expense.
