Counties lacking township government.

This is a list of the 1,433 townships organized by counties. The remaining 17 counties are divided into 261 precincts.

Each County has the option to adopt or remove a Township form of government.[1] Each County also has the right to name or rename any of its Townships, however, no two townships in Illinois may have the same name.[2] Each Township is governed by an elected Township Board which consists of a Supervisor and four other Trustees.[3] Special rules apply if an incorporated city covers the entire Township or if a city covers multiple townships to avoid duplicate levels of government.[4]

Townships are responsible for providing: "(A) Public safety (including law enforcement, fire protection, and building code enforcement). (B) Environmental protection (including sewage disposal, sanitation, and pollution abatement). (C) Public transportation (including transit systems, paratransit systems, and streets and roads). (D) Health. (E) Recreation. (F) Libraries. and (G) Social services for the poor and aged."[5]
