Libertyville Police Department

What a nice little community.
Never knew this but most parking in Libertyville’s downtown area has time limitations. It’s a surprise especially when the sign indicating the time limitation is posted within a flower bed. Nice for residents, but hard to notice for passers by; trying to find suitable parking to get a bite to eat. Who the heck uses 15 minute parking properly and what’s the point in having it in places that are far from most destinations?
1^st parking violation is $ 20, if you wait 7 days that doubles. Not sure what happens after the doubling. Tickets can be paid by cash or check. Currently they are in the process to see if they can get a credit card machine. If you’re here often but not a resident, you might inquire about obtaining a parking permit, the annual rate is $ 10 and allows you to park in spaces found all around their «downtown». But this information may be flawed since Metra parking for a six month period runs around $ 250 for a non-​resident.
In case you get to the Police station after hours, you can drop your payment in the identified mail box outside. $ 20 is better than the standard ticket price in Chicago and less hassle.
