Village Of Lakemoor

What Village Of Lakemoor does

Village of Lakemoor is a municipal government entity incorporated in 1952 and headquartered at 28581 Illinois Route 120, Lakemoor, Illinois, with jurisdiction spanning portions of both McHenry and Lake Counties. It delivers core municipal services to residents and local businesses through departmental operations covering Police, Fire Protection District coordination, Public Works, Building and Zoning, Parks and Recreation, Emergency Management, Village Clerk, and Community and Economic Development. The Village also administers Special Service Area 97-1, a defined taxing district established in 1997 to fund infrastructure improvements in the Burnsides Planned Unit Development, currently backed by $9,000,000 in Series 2006 Special Tax Refunding Bonds maturing in 2027 and administered by MUNICAP.

The Village's operational technology stack is built on a Revize-powered government CMS website, supplemented by BSA Online for utility billing, Cognito Forms for service requests, and Google Sites for meeting agendas and minutes. It maintains service delivery partnerships with Aqua of Illinois for potable water and stormwater coordination, Flood Brothers for residential waste and recycling collection, and coordinates with county-level authorities (Lake and McHenry County stormwater management commissions and health departments) for cross-jurisdictional regulatory functions. Its technology footprint is commodity-grade municipal SaaS with no disclosed proprietary systems, APIs, or AI capabilities.

Revenue is generated primarily through property taxes and Special Service Area 97-1 special taxes billed via McHenry and Lake Counties, supplemented by business license fees (a $120 annual base with classification-based adders), utility billing administration, and minor transactional revenue from police department fundraising activities such as limited-run raffles. The Village does not pursue commercial growth in the conventional sense; its "go-to-market" is direct-to-resident service delivery through walk-in Village Hall operations and an expanding suite of online self-service portals. The organization operates with 11-50 employees and is governed by an elected Village Board, with no ownership by private shareholders.
