TROY TOWNSHIP

What TROY TOWNSHIP does

Troy Township is a unit of local government in Will County, Illinois, established in 1850 under the Illinois Township Code and operating as a political subdivision of the State of Illinois. It provides mandated local government services to residents of unincorporated areas within its jurisdiction, which overlap portions of Shorewood, Joliet, Crest Hill, and Channahon. The township is governed by a publicly elected Board of Trustees and nine elected officials, with operations organized across three functional departments: the Supervisor's Office (general assistance, senior programs, community center, voter registration), the Highway Department (road maintenance, snow and ice control, recycling), and the Assessor's Office (property assessment and exemptions). The township employs approximately 17 staff across these departments, supplemented by part-time and seasonal workers.

Core services include property assessment and tax administration; maintenance of approximately 90 lane-miles of roads, 27 cul-de-sacs, and four high-traffic frontage roads for snow and ice control; recycling center operations; mosquito abatement; senior programs including the Troy Township Seniors group (established 1986), the Bridge Group, and Meals on Wheels distribution; community center rentals; general assistance for residents in financial hardship; voter registration and election services; durable medical equipment lending; and emergency alerts. There is no proprietary technology platform or commercial product — service delivery relies on standard government tools including Constant Contact for email newsletters, the Oxcart Permits online system for overweight vehicle permits, and the Smart911 Community Alert Network (launching July 2026) for emergency notifications.

The township is funded almost entirely through property tax levies — specifically the Town Fund and Road & Bridge Fund — collected via the Will County Treasurer's office and set annually through levy ordinances filed with the Will County Clerk. FY 2026-2027 disclosed budgets total approximately $5.13 million across all funds (Town Fund $1,562,280, Highway Department $2,531,350, Assessor's Office $535,350, Capital Projects Fund $460,000, General Assistance $37,370). Limited fee-based revenue exists, including a $20/year non-resident senior program membership, suggested donations of $5-$8 per senior meal, overweight vehicle permits, community center rental fees, and free 90-day loans of durable medical equipment. There is no commercial revenue, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no funding rounds — the entity is wholly publicly owned and tax-funded.
