Question 1

How do I contact village hall?

Accepted Answer

The main village hall phone number and address are listed at the top of this directory. Most municipalities are open Monday through Friday during regular business hours. For after-hours emergencies, call 911 for police/fire or check for a non-emergency number listed under the police department.

Question 2

How do I file a complaint or request a service?

Accepted Answer

Most municipalities accept service requests (potholes, streetlights, water issues) through their website, by phone, or in person at village hall. Some towns use online portals or apps for tracking requests. Check the town's official website or call the public works department.

Question 3

How do I access public records?

Accepted Answer

Illinois municipalities are subject to public records laws. You can submit a records request in writing to the municipality's designated records officer (often the village clerk). Response timelines vary by state. Many routine records are also available on the town's website.
