Counties lacking township government.

This is a list of the 1,433 townships in Illinois by county. 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]
