General Information

BIKE REGISTRATION
A bike can be stolen from just about any place, but simple precautions can deter would-be bike thieves. Registering and marking your bike can help protect you and serves as a deterrent. It also helps the police in identifying and returning a found or stolen bicycle to the owner. Provide the police department with bike information, make, model, serial number, speed, color, and other identifying marks. Cost is $1.00.

GOLF CART INSPECTION
Golf Carts can be operated on the village streets as adopted by village ordinance. Contact the police department for safety requirements to title and register a golf cart. An inspection will be completed and you will be provided with the necessary paperwork to take to clerk of court for title issuance and registration. The golf cart inspections pertain only to village residents.
