UPDATE: Administrative Hearings scheduled for January 4, 2022 will continue with strict COVID protocols in place, however, if you have any symptoms or do not feel comfortable entering Village Hall, your hearing will be continued to February 1, 2022 with no penalty.

An administrative hearing is a civil, not a criminal, proceeding. Cases filed in adjudication are punishable by fines and a variety of other penalties, excluding jail time.

Under the administrative hearing system, an administrative law judge hears cases, not the Village entity that issued the ticket, complaint or notice of violation. Law judges, all of whom are experienced attorneys, are required to undergo State-mandated training to be professional, fair, and courteous.

The Office of Administrative Adjudication hears, or may hear in the future, the following types of cases:

• Police issued tickets
• Fire Code violations
• Public passenger vehicle violations
• Building Code violations
• Property maintenance violations, such as weeds, tall grass, peeling paint, etc.
• Zoning violations
• Animal violations
• Bicycle tickets

Contact the Police Department at 708-206-3430 regarding any questions about Administrative Adjudication.
