Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
605 ILCS 5/6-327
(605 ILCS 5/6-327) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-327)
Sec. 6-327.
Township and district roads for private and public use of the
widths of 50 feet or less may be laid out from one or more dwellings or
plantations to any public road, or from one public road to another, or from
one or more lots of land to a public road or from one or more lots of land
to a public waterway, on petition to the highway commissioner by any person
directly interested. Upon receiving such petition, proceedings shall be had
respecting the laying out of such road as in the case of other township and
district roads. In case the highway commissioner or upon appeal, the county
superintendent of highways, shall enter a preliminary order for the laying
out of such road, such highway officer or officers making such preliminary
order shall, if possible, and the parties are competent to contract, agree
upon the total amount of damages, together with the portion thereof to be
paid by the district, if any, as well as by each of the land owners
benefited by such road. In case such damages cannot be determined or
apportioned by agreement, the same shall be fixed as in the case of other
township and district roads. The amount of such damages shall be paid by
the person benefited thereby, to the extent and in proportion that they are
benefited as determined and declared by the court. The remainder of the
amount of damages, over and above that to be paid by the parties aforesaid,
if any, shall be paid by the district as in other cases. The amount of
damages to be paid by individuals shall be paid to the parties entitled
thereto, before the road shall be opened for use. In all other respects the
provisions of this Division of this Code relative to the opening, widening,
alteration or vacation of other township and district roads shall be
applicable also to the laying out, widening, alteration or vacation of
roads for private and public use: Provided that the cost of the
construction of the roadway, bridges and culverts and the maintenance
thereof shall be borne by the parties paying for such road.
