Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requests

The Lake Villa Fire Protection District requires all requests to inspect or copy public records to be submitted to us in writing. As of January 2026, we cannot accept FOIA requests via link or attachment due to new security laws. The guidelines below outline the information that may be submitted with an emailed FOIA request. The Lake Villa Fire Protection District FOIA Officer will review all written requests in any form.

​

The FOIA Officer will respond to each written request to inspect, copy or both in a manner consistent with the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.  Requests made for all commercial purposes will be responded to within 21 business days upon receipt.  All other requests will be responded to within 5 business days from the day after the request is received.​
