City of Chicago Service Center

"Time it right and - renewing a street sticker or paying water or contesting a ticket is smooth."

"I'm not hear to vent about people being rude or even the abt the high price of living in Chicago, however I am perplexed on why did we (city tax payers) pay to have 10 Windows for service? IT IS NEVER MORE THEN 3 PEOPLE WORKING, & thats on a good day."

"CROOKS it is appalling the city of Chicago robbing their residents of their hard earned money. Last month I parked in the front of my customer home to take his dog for a walk. Two women employees of the department of finance aka ”department of thievery” were standing next to their white van parked on a permit area smoking. When I discovered the two tickets they gave me for a total of $275 dollars. With the two tickets in my hand, I told them I was parked for less than 25 minutes and the owner of the home had a permit. They laughed. They could care less. I continued to explain that with a $13 per hour salary as a dog walker I could not pay such a steep fine. The laughed some more while wasting their time with our taxpayer money. I refused the high penalty of $275 and the Department of Finance aka ”Department of Thievery” sent me a letter saying that if I don't pay the fines within 25 days ”a penalty equal to the fine will attach” or I need to go to the Daley Center downtown where is no parking, and pay the ”mandated filing fee” this is outrageous for many reasons: 1. We already pay high-income taxes, retail taxes, food taxes, home taxes, grocery bag taxes, plates, registration, driver license, tollways...etc. when these thieves are going to stop? 2. There is no parking in Chicago streets so we are forced to park wherever we can to do our jobs in my case as a dog sitter 3. Who owns the streets? I believe we do, the residents of Chicago own the streets not the Chicago corrupt government 4. It is outrageous to threat the Chicago residents to double the fine of an already high fine very few people afford to pay. Is a total shame the Department of Finance exits. Message to the City of Chicago: Stop the robbery of Chicago residents. And if you continue to take our money, fix the roads completely don't start a project and abandon it as you do because our cars really wear and tear. Fix the bridges they are falling apart. CROOKs"

"The line was extremely long and there was only 2 people working. There was 5 other people walking around. This is after 3:00 this office should be better staffed then this versus treating us less then and not being considerate of our time. No one should have to wait over an hour to be service."

"Horrible experience. The staff here is unreasonable and inconsiderate. I was there today, was told to bring in certain paper work. Left to get the paper work . Came back .. And long story short .. was given the complete run around ! The women staff purposely gave me a hard time. I was in the same location for the same reason a year prior .. process went smoothly. Left this location upset and irritated. I went to the location on north lasalle downtown.. I was in and out of the building within 30 mins. For the same exact reason, with the same exact paper work. I would recommend to go else where. The staff here feel as if they are doing you a favor, when it's their job."
