Townships

Townships are a unit of government that do not duplicate services provided by villages, cities, counties or the state. By law, Illinois townships are charged with three basic functions:

1. General assistance for the indigent;
2. The assessment of real property for the basis of local taxation; 
3. Maintenance of all roads and bridges outside federal, state and other local jurisdictions.
