To file a request, contact the village clerk at 708-442-4431. You can submit your request in writing by mail, hand delivery to Village Hall at 4200 Lawndale Avenue, or by email. The clerk's office reviews each request and either provides the records or explains any exemptions that apply. Most routine requests for contact info and phone lists get handled quickly without any issues.

A written request creates a paper trail. That makes it easier to follow up if you do not get a response within the five-day window. Keep a copy of what you send and write down the date you sent it.

Note: FOIA requests to Lyons Township go through a separate office at 708-482-8300, not the village.
