Serving Fremont Residents
The Fremont Township Highway Department is responsible for maintaining certain unincorporated areas of Diamond Lake, Grayslake, Mundelein, and Round Lake. Within these unincorporated areas the Highway Department is responsible for the Right of Way. The Right of Way includes the following: the road itself, ditches, driveway aprons, and some drainage easements. Right of Way widths vary and are measured from the center of the road outward to the property line.

Brush Chipping - Please see our updated Brush Chipping Policy and Upcoming Brush Chipping Dates
Drain Oil (Used Motor Oil): Arrangements can be made through the Highway Department to get rid of your used motor oil. By appointment only!
Wood Chips: The Highway Department is always looking for someone to take our wood chips. The Highway Department does NOT keep piles of wood chips at their facility. Wood chips are disposed of the same day that they are acquired. If you see Fremont Township Highway trucks chipping on the roadways and you want wood chips, just ask the crew working on the roadway. A Township resident may also call the Highway Department and be put on a list. Fremont Township Highway does NOT give any guarantee on the condition of the wood chips.
To ensure the quality of work and to protect township residents from liability for damage to township property, a Fremont Township Highway Department Right of Way permit is needed for any construction in the unincorporated area that might affect the public right of way. The township may require a cash bond from the homeowner prior to issuance of the permit. This permit may be in addition to a permit required by Lake County Planning, Building & Development Department.
Fremont Township Highway Commissioner Alicia Dodd is reminding unincorporated Fremont Township residents having their driveways repaved, they must contact the Fremont Highway Department first for a driveway culvert inspection prior to any work being done. Please call the highway department at 847 223-2848.
