motor fuel tax



Section 6-701.8 of the "Illinois Highway Code" provides that "not more than 50% of allocated Motor Fuel Tax funds may be expended for maintenance and improvement of eligible non-dedicated subdivision roads whose property owners shall provide proportional matching contributions, whether in cash, kind, services or otherwise."


Twenty-five Non-dedicated Subdivisions in Algonquin Township apply each spring for their proportionate share of the Highway Department's MFT funds. Upon approval of the Township Board and the County Highway Department, vouchers are issued to each Subdivision for the amount of their fair share.


Subdivisions may use these funds for aggregate (road gravel), recycled asphalt, bituminous patching mixture, seal coating, grading and ditching, purchase of ice control mixtures or a number of miscellaneous items.
