For the first time in my life, I forgot.
Sticker was 60.
Late charge was $60
Ticket is $200.

Be very careful.

Plus rep for the reminder. I thought it was the end of this month, not the end of last month. Just got back from buying mine, I had to pay the late fee but fortunately I didn't have a ticket issued before I switched stickers.

I'm sure the extra fees will go to good use. :/

I needed a good laugh! I don't remember, is this the first year the vehicle make, model, and plate number is on the sticker? I tossed last years. I can't remember? I think it was to combat people stealing stickers.

Last year had them .. This was the first year I was able to remove last years completely intact, with only a little goo left that was fingernail-scrapable. This years sticker adventure was when one of the fill-in mailman decided I didn't live in my building and returned it . Bought it online so sent them an email requesting status check . Amazingly , they responded the next day . It was returned to them . Just bring DL to Room 107 information Desk , or they could mail it again ( no thanks, although the regular mail person is back) ... I get crap with different names, no last name , the previous owner ... all junk . One piece of mail I need, gets sent back undeliverable . I do give kudos to the Clerks Office for such a quick response to my inquiry .

Had an a-hole cop (an actual cop this time, not a revenue vulture) write me a ticket on the 8th even though a) I had already bought one and it was in the mail, and b) the city had stated very clearly that enforcement would not begin until the 16th. It's one thing to waste your time writing out a ticket that's clearly going to get thrown out; it's another to waste mine forcing me to fight the ticket.
