Township Roads

Algonquin Township Highway Department’s main function is to maintain township roads that are not located within any village boundaries. We are responsible for resurfacing, patching, and snow plowing more than 55 miles of township roads. Where necessary, we provide lighting at major intersections. Our crews are also kept busy repairing and replacing over 800 road signs throughout the township. Click HERE to find your road.

Algonquin Township Road District encompasses all or parts of ten (10) municipalities:

 
 

  • Motor Fuel Tax.

    Section 6-701.8 of the “Illinois Highway Code” provides that “not more than 50% of allocated Motor Fuel Tax funds may be expended for maintenance and improvement of eligible non-dedicated subdivision roads whose property owners shall provide proportional matching contributions, whether in cash, kind, services or otherwise.”

    The non-dedicated subdivisions in Algonquin Township apply each spring for their proportionate share of the Highway Department’s MFT funds.

    Subdivisions may use these funds for aggregate (road gravel), recycled asphalt, bituminous patching mixture, seal coating, grading and ditching, purchase of ice control mixtures, or a number of miscellaneous items.

    County Non-Dedicated Roads (NDR) Program

    MFT funds are there in place to assist residents who live on private roads within the township.

    County NDR Forms can be accessed here.

    Other Support

    The Algonquin Township Road District assists the non-dedicated subdivisions by submitting the NDR documents to the county.
