Village Of Hampshire

What Village Of Hampshire does

Village of Hampshire is an incorporated municipal government in Kane County, Illinois, founded in 1876 and serving residents and businesses within its village boundaries. It operates under a Village Manager form of government with an elected Village President and Board of Trustees, and is staffed by approximately 35 employees organized across Administration, Building and Code Enforcement, Development Services, Finance, Police, and Public Works and Engineering. The Village delivers core municipal services — water and sewer utilities, police protection, street maintenance and snow plowing, building inspection, planning/zoning, economic development, and permits/licensing — to village residents, local businesses, and developers.

Service delivery runs on a conventional municipal IT stack: the official website at hampshireil.org (built on MuniCMS 2.0 by Muniweb/Ingstron), the CommunityCore online permitting platform, the My Hampshire mobile app for iOS/Android, Frontline PSS for police records, and Nixle for emergency text/email alerts. Revenue is generated primarily through property taxation, usage-based water and sewer fees (water at $6.24/1,000 gallons, sewer at $7.30/1,000 gallons, both raised May 1, 2024), building permits and business licenses, a Places for Eating Tax, Special Services Area assessments, and intergovernmental transfers. The Village is executing a 20–25 year, $50 million utility infrastructure improvement plan — including water main upgrades, UV wastewater treatment, and Well #9 media exchange — funded through the May 2024 rate increases and $1.9M in secured federal grants. Intergovernmental agreements with Hampshire Township Road District (December 2021, snow removal), Kane County (stormwater), IEPA (lead service line reporting), IDOT (state route maintenance), and FEMA/NFIP (floodplain management) underpin cross-jurisdictional operations.
