From police and public works to the village clerk and finance department, the Deerfield phone directory puts every number in one place.

Deerfield Village Hall Phone Numbers

Deerfield Village Hall is at 850 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, IL 60015. The main phone number is 847-945-5000. Offices are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, with a lunch closure from noon to 1:00 pm. The police department shares this building, so it is a busy location. When you call the main number, the finance department switchboard handles incoming calls and can direct you to any office in the village.

The Village of Deerfield website is the official online source for department contacts, meeting agendas, ordinances, and village services. Each department has its own page with staff names and phone numbers. You can also find forms, meeting schedules, and public notices there.

The Village Manager serves as the appointed Village Clerk. The Village Manager's Office is the heart of communication between the Mayor, the Board of Trustees, village departments, and residents. If you have a general question and are not sure which department handles it, the manager's office is a good first call. They can also help with board meeting questions and official village correspondence.

The Illinois state homepage connects Deerfield residents to state agencies and programs that serve the area.

Deerfield Police Department Contacts

The Deerfield Police Department is at 850 Waukegan Road, the same building as Village Hall. The non-emergency number is 847-945-8636. Use this line for general police questions, non-urgent reports, noise complaints, and follow-up calls. For emergencies, always call 911. The department has officers on duty around the clock, so dispatch is always available.

During business hours, you can reach administrative staff directly at 847-945-8636. After hours, calls go through dispatch. The Deerfield Departments page on the village website lists police staff and programs. If you need to file a report or request police records, the non-emergency line will connect you with the right unit.

Deerfield does not operate its own fire department. Fire and EMS services come through a separate fire protection district that covers the area. Contact the fire district directly for fire-related questions, inspections, or emergency services that do not require a 911 call.

Public Works and Engineering

The Public Works and Engineering Department is at 465 Elm Street, Deerfield, IL 60015. The main numbers are 847-317-7245 and 847-317-2490. Hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. This department handles streets, water, sewer, sidewalks, and general infrastructure. If you have a pothole to report, a water main issue, or a question about snow removal, Public Works is the office to call.

The village also operates a Wastewater Reclamation Facility at 1045 Hackberry Road, Deerfield, IL 60015. Reach the facility at 847-317-7224.

Water billing and utility account questions go through the Finance Department at Village Hall, not through Public Works. Call 847-945-5000 for billing inquiries, new service setup, or payment questions. The finance team handles the day-to-day utility billing and can explain your charges or help set up online payments.

Finance Department and Switchboard

The Finance Department has seven staff members and handles much more than just budgets. This team manages utility billing, accounts payable, payroll, and cash receipts. They also serve as the village's main switchboard, directing calls and inquiries to the right departments. Call 847-945-5000 and you will reach the finance department first.

If you need to pay a water or sewer bill, ask about a village fee, or get details on your utility account, this is the department to contact. They handle walk-in payments at Village Hall and can set up online payment options. The finance department also posts the village budget and financial reports on the Deerfield Finance page.

FOIA and Records Requests

Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140), you can request public records from the Village of Deerfield. Phone directories, staff lists, department budgets, contracts, and meeting minutes are all available. The village must respond within five business days.

The Illinois Local Records Act (50 ILCS 205) requires the village to maintain and preserve all public records. Old phone directories, past staff rosters, and archived department contact sheets must be stored and made available when requested. The village follows the state retention schedule for all records.

The Illinois FOIA contacts page lists FOIA officers at the state level. Use it when your request involves a state agency that operates in the Deerfield area.

Deerfield Department Phone List

The Deerfield staff directory on the village website lists individual employees by department. That page is useful if you need to reach a specific person rather than a general department line. Staff names, titles, and phone extensions are all listed.

Most offices keep the same Monday through Friday schedule. Public Works starts earlier at 7:00 am and closes at 3:30 pm. Village Hall runs 8:00 am to 4:30 pm with a lunch break from noon to 1:00 pm. Plan your calls around these hours for the best chance of reaching someone directly.

Cook and Lake County Contacts

Deerfield sits on the border of two counties. The western part of the village is in Cook County and the eastern part is in Lake County. Which county handles your property tax bill, court filings, or vital records depends on which side of the line your address falls on. This is something a lot of Deerfield residents run into, and it can cause confusion if you call the wrong county office.

For property tax questions, check your tax bill to see whether it lists Cook County or Lake County as the taxing body. The Cook County Assessor handles properties on the west side, while the Lake County Assessor handles the east side. Court filings, marriage licenses, and other county-level services work the same way. Figure out which county your address is in, and then use the right county phone directory page for contacts.
