Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Information

FOIA Information

The County of Jackson works to maintain transparent processes and open communications with the community. As part of that effort, a variety of information is available on the county's website as well as in departmental offices. We work to maintain compliance with the newly updated Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which outlines how public organizations and their communities should share information. For information concerning fees, please follow this link to section 6 of the Freedom of Information Act.
