  • Leave Fireworks to the Professionals
    Each year during the Fourth of July holiday thousands of people, mostly children, are seriously injured in fireworks-related incidents. Because of the hazards and injuries associated with fireworks, the Village of Mount Prospect prohibits all types of fireworks including sparklers. Sparklers reach temperatures of up to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit and remain hot enough to cause serious burns even after they are extinguished. Fireworks are also especially dangerous to children because they entice children to play with matches. The Mount Prospect Fire Department wishes all a happy and safe 4th of July celebration and requests that everyone leave fireworks to the professionals and enjoy the professional fireworks display at Melas Park.

  • Did You Purchase Your Vehicle Sticker?
    The deadline for displaying 2010-2011 vehicle stickers was April 30. The Police Department is now issuing citations to owners of locally registered vehicles on which 2010-2011 vehicle stickers are not displayed. The penalty will not initially apply to new Village residents or to residents who have purchased replacement vehicles after May 1. In either case, you have 30 days to purchase your sticker. During the grace period, proof of purchase or move-in date will be required to assure that a surcharge penalty is not imposed. If you change vehicles during the year, a transfer is required. Call the Finance Department at 392-6000 for more information.
