There’s strength in one number. By filling out the 2020 Census, you will help determine how billions of dollars in public funding are spent. Federal dollars help fund important community services such as schools, parks, trains, roads, and much more. If there is an undercount in Chicago, we may not get our full share of the federal resources. 

You can complete the questionnaire online, by mail, or over the phone. The questionnaire is only 10 short questions and asks for basic information. 

It does not ask for sensitive information like social security numbers or immigration status. It is safe and private.
If you have not already completed the form, please take the next 10 minutes to complete the Census online at 2020Census.gov.

If you have already completed the short questionnaire, thank you, and please encourage your family and friends to do the same. We are striving for a complete count in Chicago and hope that all Chicago residents will take this opportunity to invest in our city.
2020 CENSUS FORM
Request assistance for yourself or someone in need or volunteer to help a neighbor during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our office will work to match your request with a volunteer in your neighborhood.
Office of the City Clerk Closed 
 
The Office of the City Clerk is temporarily closed until April 8, 2020. 

Waivers and Suspension of City Sticker Tickets
Ticket enforcement on compliance-related violations, including City Stickers and Residential Parking Permits, will be suspended until April 30, 2020. We will also be waiving late fees and back charges on City Stickers during this time.

The Office of the City Clerk is currently working on a back charge and late fee waiver period to provide some relief for those who are unable to purchase or renew their stickers during this time.

The Office of the City Clerk will be waiving late fees and back charges on City Stickers from March 19, 2020 to April 30, 2020 for residents whose stickers were up for renewal in January, February, or March 2020. These dates may be extended should the Office of the City Clerk be closed past April 30, 2020. Additional details on this waiver period to follow.

Buy from the EZBuy Online Store 
The Office of the City Clerk encourages residents to visit the EZBuy Website to purchase their City Sticker, Residential Parking Permit, and Dog Licenses.
