services, please contact us at 815-338-2144.
If you would like to submit a FOIA request, please carefully
read the information below. Illinois law requires public bodies to
comply with or deny a FOIA request within five business days,
unless the time for response is extended for an additional five
business days, as allowed under the law. A request for
records to be used for a commercial purpose requires a public body
to respond within 21 business days.
Please complete the Online FOIA Request Form or you can mail, fax,
email, or hand-deliver directly to the department for which the
records are being sought. Click here to download a PDF Form.
Please be specific in the nature of your request in order for
FOIA Officers to process your request more efficiently. (Illinois
law does not require you to submit on the FOIA Request Form, but
the request should be in writing). *Electronic records can be
requested and will be provided, as allowed under the law.
