I got 4 sets of wheel tax notifications including the correct one.
Wheel Tax Error
I received my own plus some for other people that were supposedly living at this address. I check google to see if they lived near by so I could drop off. It appeared one of the people was deceased and had lived in North Evanston at the time ( I am in South Evanston)
Hold on to your receipt
Please be sure you hold on to your receipt in a place you can find it. After paying the wheel tax on both our cars, I was ticketed months later parking at the lake and received a ticket for not having paid the wheel tax. Visiting City Hall – it took more than 20 minutes for the clerk to figure out why our payment wasn't recorded for each car – and then another five or so minutes to void the ticket. So – hold on to your receipt.
