Collections Division The Village of Skokie Finance / Collections Division is responsible for the collection of all revenues for the Village. The Collections Division administers programs which include water billing, vehicle licensing, pet licensing and parking enforcement. Please call (847) 933-8423 for further information. Water Billing - Click here to pay your Water Bill Online The Collections Division is responsible for the issuance of water bills and the collection of revenues from those bills. The Village is divided into three billing districts each of which are billed on a regular quarterly basis. Effective in October 2008 and continuing to approximately July 2009, the Village's water rate is $26.40 per 1000 cubic feet. Beginning with water billings in August 2008, the water rate will be increased in steps over a period of three months. For water bills issued in August 2008, the water rate will be $24.90. For water bills issued in September 2008, the water rate will be $22.65. Finally, the full new water rate of $26.40 will be charged for billings issued in October 2008 and thereafter. The step-in of the new $26.40 water rate recognizes the fact that water used up to the date of the Village Board’s approval of the new rate which is typically in mid-June must be billed at the previous rate of $24.15. The Village continues to have one of the least expensive water rates of area communities ranking as the second lowest rate of surveyed communities. Vehicle Licensing Beginning June 1, 2002, passenger vehicle stickers purchased prior to August 31 of each year cost $20.00. After that date, the cost increases to $30.00. Vehicles other than passenger vehicles have different license fees. Please call 847/933-8423 to obtain the costs for your type of vehicle. Generally, for vehicles that already display a valid Village vehicle sticker, annual renewal notices are mailed around June 1 which is the start of the annual licensing season which runs to August 31. The Collections Division is open from 8:30 to 5:00, Monday through Friday, and from 8:30 to 12:00 on Saturdays. Saturday hours are in effect from May 1 thru October 31. Pet Licensing The Village Code limits residents to one dog per single family apartment and two dogs per single family residence. Parking Enforcement The Village has two parking lots for the Skokie Swift. The south lot, which is contiguous to the Swift Station, requires a daily parking fee of $2.00. The north lot, located north of Dempster Street immediately across from the Swift Station, requires a daily parking fee of $1.50. Please put the appropriate fee in the box slot that corresponds to the parking space number where you parked your vehicle. The fee boxes are located in the Swift Station. As an added convenience, the Village has provided a change machine in the Swift Station. Should you have any questions please call 847/933-8423. |
