The Illinois Freedom of Information Act is the principal Illinois Statutory enactment governing the inspection and copying of public records. Illinois courts have long recognized that good policy requires liberality in the right to examine public records. The records that must be made available include information regarding the official acts and policies of government. However, some exemptions do apply, including but not limited to, records containing personal information; records related to law enforcement, investigations and corrections; and records containing legal proceedings or litigation.
To facilitate your request for review and/or copying of any public records, please complete the "Request for Information form" below. The completed form can be faxed to 708-681-8818. In some cases, you may be charged a copying fee to fulfill your request. The prices are 8-1/2 x 11 - $0.25 per page, 8-1/2 x 14 - $0.35 per page, maps or plats - $1.00, certifications for each document - $1.75 per page.
The Village of Maywood will be cooperative to allow you to review and copy public records in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. Should you have any questions regarding the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act or how to complete the form, please contact the Village of Maywood Village Clerk's office.
