The Township serves approximately 200,000 residents residing in its boundaries of Orchard Road to the west, Route 56 to the north, Montgomery Road to the east, and Route 30 to the south. By law, Illinois townships must provide three basic functions: general assistance, property appraisal for local taxation purposes, and maintenance of all roads and bridges outside of federal, state, and other local jurisdiction. Aurora Township provides these services, and much more. We designed this web site to help you better understand the role of this local government, learn about the services we offer, and to keep you informed about upcoming events and programs, many of which are offered for free or minimal cost.
