FAQs

This record request portal is currently being used by the following functional units:

• Administration (finance, human resources, etc.)
• Community Development (inspections, permits, property maintenance, zoning, etc.)
• Police Department (police incident reports, etc.)
• Public Works (bids/tabulations, contractual agreements, etc.)

You are not required to include a Village department when submitting a request. Village staff will assign the request to all applicable departments.

Requestors seeking unredacted copies of records must provide sufficient verification to prove they are eligible to receive such records.

Records Maintained by Other Agencies

While the Village carries out a number of services to those within the Village, requesters should also be aware that other jurisdictions play a role in facilitating or carrying out other services. These include records that may be maintained by counties, townships, fire protection districts, or other jurisdictions.
