Welcome to the Village of Antioch, Illinois. The Village of Antioch is committed to continuing the high quality of life enjoyed by the citizens and businesses of Antioch community. Our mission is to enhance and preserve this quality of life by providing fiscally sound and responsive services, programs and facilities with the highest degree of professionalism, integrity and efficiency so that Antioch continues to be a great place to live and work. Antioch residents can reach both Chicago and Milwaukee by way of Interstate 94 and US 41. Also, there is Metra commuter service between Antioch and Chicago.

I invite you to experience our hometown atmosphere as you stroll and shop in our beautiful and quaint downtown. We are also fortunate to have 15 developed parks inside the village limits. These facilities provide for the recreational needs of our community. Antioch’s newest park is the William E. Brook Wetland Sanctuary and Entertainment Center which is located in our downtown area. This 9-acre area includes an educational wetland sanctuary with a boardwalk, walking path, interpretive nature signs, two ponds and the entertainment center. The Village of Antioch’s "It's Thursday" concerts are held at the entertainment center and the park area is also the location for Antioch’s “Taste of Summer”, carnivals, craft fairs and special events throughout the year. These events are sponsored by the Village of Antioch, Antioch Chamber of Commerce and Industry and other organizations of our community.

One of the most scenic sights in Lake County is the Hiram Buttrick Sawmill. The authentic reproduction was built in 1976 as a Bicentennial project. The adjacent arboretum is a perfect place to hold a picnic or wedding. Tours can be arranged through the Village of Antioch’s Park and Recreation Department.

If you are interested in Antioch’s history, make sure to visit the Lakes Region Historical Society located in the 1892 Antioch Grade School building at Main Street and Depot Street. For more information, call the Lakes Region Historical Society at 847-395-7337 or stop by the Antioch Village Hall for a free brochure.

A second museum in town is the Pickard China Museum and outlet store. Pickard is one of the finest china companies in the United States. Customers have included Presidents, Vice-Presidents and the State Department of the United States. The Museum and outlet store is located at 782 Pickard Avenue.

Amended Village Code Regarding Signs and Street Graphics

The Fire Department Needs Your Help!
The Fire Department wants to remind everyone that snow-covered fire hydrants, blocked access routes, and covered address markings will slow down not only the department's response, but also our ability to provide the necessary emergency service. There is something that you can do to help.
Everyone in the community, residents, business owners, and snow removal crews can assist the Fire Department by clearing away the fire hydrants, and keeping an area approximately four feet around the hydrant clear.  Furthermore, when possible, keep the sidewalks, driveways, and entrances to a business or residence clear.  The snow removal companies can help by making sure they are not placing the plowed snow in any of the above-mentioned areas, which would create the hazards we are trying to avoid.  The recent snowstorms combined with little or no snow melting has led to a situation where the snow on the ground has passed the height of a hydrant.
In this situation, the clearing of hydrants becomes crucial; and by taking the extra effort, we may all behydrant preventing a tragedy.
The Fire Department wants to remind everyone that shoveling snow can be a very labor-intensive process, and anyone who may doubt his or her physical condition should take it slow and get someone to help you.
Anyone needing further information is asked to please contact the Fire Department.

Snow Removal Ordinance Passed
The Village Board of Trustees passed an Ordinance on Monday, October 20, 2008 which specifies the persons required to remove snow. The owners, occupants, or lessees of lots which abut a public sidewalk are required to clear snow after two inches has accumulated. Additionally, the owner is required to clear off accumulations of ice, sleet, or freezing rain. The responsible person is required to maintain the sidewalk in a reasonably clear condition.

Area Required to be Cleared
The responsible person is required to clear the lesser of 72 inches or the full width of the sidewalk. Additionally, owners most closely abutting sidewalk ramps are required to clear the ramps.

Clearance should occur within 24 hours after the cessation of an event that deposits at least two inches of snow. Click on the shovel below to view the ordinance.
