Did You Forget Your Vehicle Sticker?

Stickers must be displayed on all vehicles registered or garaged in Deerfield by July 1.

Stickers for passenger vehicles cost $30 if purchased by June 30. After June 30, a 50 percent late penalty is assessed.

The Village offers an online payment system for vehicle stickers. Visit www.deerfield.il.us and click the “Pay Online” button on the website’s homepage. There is no additional charge for online payment.

Additional vehicle sticker purchasing options include returning the renewal application by mail, paying at Village Hall or using the payment drop box located in the median just south of Village Hall on Jewett Park Drive.

Applications Open for 50/50 Parkway Tree Program

The Village will pay half the cost to plant a tree in your parkway and guarantee it for one year. Your tree will be balled in burlap, guaranteed for one year, and planted by the Public Works Department. Trees will be planted in the fall. Watch your tree next summer and, if you notice any problems, call us so we can have the tree examined before the guarantee expires. This program is for residential properties only. Click here to apply now before the August 31 deadline.

Reminder: Stormwater Master Plan Now Open for Public Comment

In early 2020, the Village initiated a contract with an area consultant to developed a Village-wide Stormwater Master Plan. This plan is designed to analyze and model the Village’s storm sewer system to determine deficient areas and provide improvement recommendations. In all, there were 42 flood study areas that were identified where detailed drainage analyses was performed.

This plan has been submitted and reviewed by Village staff and is in its final draft form. As public input and resident interaction was a large part of the historical data collection, the Village is making the final draft available to residents for a 30 day public commenting period. During this time, residents are encouraged to review this report and provide any comments or questions to Village staff. Click here for the full report.

Public comments and questions can be emailed to the Engineering Department at engineering@deerfield.il.us. Comments will be accepted until July 26.

Lake County Mails Assessment Notices

Lake County has started mailing assessment notices to property owners. These notices are sent out to notify property owners of assessment value changes. The mailing of assessment notices initiates a brief appeal period of only 30 days. Taxpayers are encouraged to contact their local township assessor’s office if they have questions regarding the valuation of their property. Please visit the Lake County website for more information.
