STARTING FEBRUARY 1, 2024:

Revisions Made to the Parking Tax

In April 2022, the Village of East Dundee board of trustees amended Title III, Chapter 35 establishing Section 17 (Vehicle Parking Tax) in its municipal code, which requires all parking operators in the Village limits to collect a parking tax on vehicles parked where payment is required for the vehicle to be parked/stored.

However, on December 18, 2023 the Village Board of Trustees passed Ordinance # 23-58 which changes how the tax is applied commencing February 1, 2024.

The tax applies to but is not limited to:
  • passenger cars;
  • vans and trucks;
  • recreational vehicles;
  • campers, motorcycles;
  • semi-trailers, boats; and/or
  • trailers and inoperable vehicles.
The former tax was applied as follows ending January 31, 2024:
  • If customer is charged to park by the day: $0.50 cents per day
  • If customer is charged to park by month: $6.00 per month
The new tax rate is applied as follows commencing on February 1, 2024:
  • Starting on February 1, 2024 the new tax is imposed in the amount of 6% of the charge or fee paid for parking.
How to pay the tax:
Until January 31, 2024, please continue remitting the tax the way you have.  However, beginning February 1, 2024, the tax collected must reflect the new rate and be remitted to the Village on a monthly basis by the 20th day of the following month or penalties will apply.
