About Us
The Township serves approximately 200,000 residents residing in its boundaries of Orchard Road to the west, Route 56 to the north, Montgomery Road to the east, and Route 30 to the south. By law, Illinois townships must provide three basic functions: general assistance, property appraisal for local taxation purposes, and maintenance of all roads and bridges outside of federal, state, and other local jurisdiction. Aurora Township provides these services, and much more. We designed this web site to help you better understand the role of this local government, learn about the services we offer, and to keep you informed about upcoming events and programs, many of which are offered for free or minimal cost.
Role of the Township:
The township consists of both elected officials and staff. The Township Supervisor, Highway Commissioner, and Property Assessor are elected positions, individually responsible for their departments and budgets. These positions are accountable to the elected 5 member board of trustees. The Township Supervisor, Highway Commissioner, and Property Assessor each manage a staff of employees to help carry out the duties and services of their offices.
In addition to providing the basic functions of township government, Aurora Township offers many programs for youth and seniors and enforces ordinances within its jurisdiction.
