MPEA AIRPORT DEPARTURE
TAX
In 1991, the Legislature of the State of Illinois passed a law
establishing the "Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority".
This authority has the power to manage McCormick Place, which
is considered to be an important benefit to the entire region
surrounding Chicago. This Authority is supported by five taxes,
one of which is the "Airport Departure Tax". This tax
will be collected by a City of Chicago Ordinance, created by an
inter-government agreement. This Ordinance, after many delays,
finally took effect on Friday, January 1, 1993.
This departure tax applies to all commercial transportation,
"for hire", leaving O'Hare and Midway Airports. Under
the classification of the law that includes taxis and limousines,
every vehicle departing the commercial holding area of either
airport to pick up customers will be required to pay a $2.00 fee.
If the customer is not at the curb when the vehicle arrives, it
will be necessary for the vehicle to reenter the commercial holding
area and pay an additional $3.00.
