The Illinois Divisions and Consolidations application is a web-based application for local governments in the State of Illinois. It is used by local governments to create legally binding divisions and consolidations of their existing local government units. The application also allows local governments to submit petitions to the Illinois Local Government Division for review and approval. The application supports two types of petitions: Division and Consolidation. Division petitions allow local governments to separate or divide their existing government unit into two or more separate government units. Consolidation petitions enable local governments to join two or more existing government units to form a new government unit. The application also provides local governments with access to a library of resources to help them with the process of submitting petitions. These resources include a petition checklist, templates for petitions, and instructions for how to submit petitions.
