Important Notes
- Failure to provide all required documentation could result in your permit being returned for a prorated refund, minus a 10% administrative fee.
- If all required information is submitted, processing typically takes 1–2 business days. You will receive an email from publicworks@champaignil.gov when your permit is ready to be picked up.
- You cannot park in your permit space until you have picked up the physical hangtag. Parking in a permit space before picking up your permit could result in your vehicle being ticketed or towed at your expense.
- Due to postal service issues, permits are no longer mailed.
