Using the Lake Zurich Phone Directory

Start with the main Village Hall number at 847-438-5141 if you are not sure which department handles your issue. The front desk can transfer you. If you know which office you need, use the direct numbers on this page. Police and fire have their own separate buildings and phone lines, so those calls bypass Village Hall entirely.

Keep in mind that Public Works and Community Development are at 505 Telser Road, not at Village Hall on Main Street. If you need to visit in person for a permit, inspection, or utility question, go to the Telser Road location. Village Hall on Main Street handles administration, finance, and the clerk's office.

County-level services work differently. Property taxes, court filings, and vital records go through Lake County offices, not through Lake Zurich Village Hall. Make sure you know whether your question is a village issue or a county issue before you call.
