Village of Hazelcrest

What Village of Hazelcrest does

The Village of Hazelcrest is a municipal government entity serving the residents and businesses of Hazel Crest, Illinois, located in Cook County. It delivers the full scope of local government services through nine operating departments: Administration, Community Relations, Economic Development, Finance, Fire, Human Resources, Inspectional Services, Police, and Public Works. Resident-facing services include utility payment processing, vehicle stickers, facility rentals, parks and recreation programs, senior activities, transportation, compost services, red light camera enforcement, vehicle stickers, and community events such as the Hazelnut Festival & Parade. The village is also advancing a multi-year economic development agenda anchored by four named growth drivers — Shovel Ready Sites, Efficient Financing (TIF Districts), Modern Infrastructure, and Attracting Talent — and the Hazel Crest Creative Arts District initiative.

The village is funded by property taxes, utility fees, vehicle sticker fees, and citation payments; specific figures are not publicly disclosed on the website. Service delivery is conducted through the Village Hall at 3601 W. 183rd Street, supplemented by online portals for water utility billing (Collector Solutions), citation payments (DACRA), vehicle stickers, and service requests (SDL Portal). The official website, powered by revize., functions as the primary information and resident-service hub, with email e-notifications and official Facebook and Twitter/X accounts supporting civic engagement. Recent operational changes include a permanent Saturday closing of Village Hall (announced October 2025) and the launch of the Hazel Crest eTOD (Equitable Transit-Oriented Development) Plan with public workshops in October 2025 and June 2026.

There are no private ownership, parent company, or investment entities associated with the village; governance is by an elected Village President and Board of Trustees. The entity is a government municipality, not a commercial enterprise, and operates as a single-jurisdiction service provider with no geographic expansion beyond the village's incorporated boundaries.
