DUNDEE TOWNSHIP

Established in 1835, Dundee Township is one of the oldest governments in the Fox River Valley. Its six square miles include the vibrant river towns of Carpentersville, East Dundee, West Dundee, Sleepy Hollow and parts of Algonquin, Elgin and Gilberts. The Dundee Township’s Supervisor’s Office acts on a long tradition of neighbors helping neighbors by offering essential services to residents in need. The Emergency Assistance program provides help with utility disconnections and rental eviction notices. The General Assistance program provides monthly assistance to those with limited incomes. The Ride in Kane program provides door-to-door transportation services to seniors and disabled individuals.

In addition, the Supervisor’s office operates two public cemeteries. The historic West Cemetery is located on Route 31 in West Dundee. The East Cemetery on Route 25 in East Dundee features a Columbaria Garden, which provides a tranquil, natural setting for the inurnment of cremated remains. The Township also manages eight open space recreation areas where a loyal following of volunteers are working with staff to ecologically restore more than 1,000 acres. These rich habitats offer trail systems to allow hikers, birders, and horseback riders to exist harmoniously with wildlife. A steady stream of people can be found visiting Raceway Woods, Snuffy’s Prairie, Dixie Briggs Fromm Illinois State Nature Preserve, Jelke Creek Bird Sanctuary, Library Springs, Salamander Springs, Helm Woods and Wahoo Woods – a nature play park. The Township Clerk arranges voter registration, early and absentee voting, free notary public services and is the official keeper of all township records and information.

The Assessor’s office maintains residential, commercial and industrial property assessments and record systems. They also assist with homestead and senior exemptions, senior tax freeze documentation, real estate tax complaints, circuit breaker assistance, voter registration and free notary services to residents. The Road District Commissioner and crew offers the following services to residents on township roads: snow removal, road repair and maintenance, brush trimming along right-of-ways, maintenance of township highway property and flood control.
