Village of Huntley, Illinois

What Village of Huntley, Illinois does

The Village of Huntley is a municipal government entity incorporated in 1851 under the State of Illinois, serving nearly 30,000 residents across McHenry and Kane counties as the fastest-growing community in the Chicagoland area. It operates through five core internal departments — Huntley Police Department (40 budgeted sworn officers, CALEA accredited), Public Works & Engineering, Development Services, Finance/Human Resources, and the Village Manager's Office — led by Village President Timothy J. Hoeft and a Board of Trustees. Its core offering is the provision of essential public services including police protection, snow and ice control, water and sewer utilities, building permitting and code enforcement, emergency preparedness, and community recreation coordination.

Revenue is generated through a diversified municipal funding mix: property taxes as the primary base, water and sewer usage-based fees, one-time licensing and permit fees (e.g., $25 solicitor permit application plus $50 fingerprint fee, $100 block party barricade deposit), and miscellaneous public safety service charges. Go-to-market is direct-to-resident through three physical locations (Village Hall at 10987 Main Street, Police Department at 10911 Main Street, Public Works at 11000 Bakley Street) plus a maturing digital self-service layer comprising online utility bill payment, Revize-based online permitting, a Frontline service request portal, an ArcGIS-powered GIS Maps and Data Hub, LexisNexis eCrash online accident reports, and an Everbridge community alert system that replaced Nixle in August 2024.

The Village's technology stack is conventional government-software rather than proprietary: third-party integrations include DocuSign for reimbursement forms, Diligent Community for board meeting agendas and video, YouTube for meeting livestreaming, Oxcart Permit Systems for overweight/oversized load permits, and Shopify for the new Huntley 175th Anniversary merchandise collection. Recent strategic activity includes a partnership with the Huntley Park District to acquire approximately 153 acres of land (announced August 2025) and a 2023 right-of-way permitting agreement with i3 Broadband to deploy fiber optic infrastructure across the community.
