FINANCE DEPARTMENT

The Finance Department’s mission is to professionally and responsibly manage the financial affairs of the Village, to protect and further the Village’s strong financial reputation and to effectively and efficiently provide related support services to Village residents, as well as other operating departments and decision makers of the Village. We commit to anticipate, meet and exceed the service needs of the community and fellow employees. In 2022, the Finance Department went live with Tyler Munis Financials software system after over a year of planning and preparation. The Finance Department successfully went live using Tyler Munis Payroll Time and Attendance software this past July of 2024. In 2025, Finance expects to go live with Tyler Utility Billing and Enterprise Permits & Licensing. These new modules are expected to improve process efficiency and rework a lot of outdated processes. The Village of Orland Park is one of only 24 governments in Illinois and 231 governments in the United States and Canada to achieve the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Triple Crown of Financial Reporting Awards. For over 25 years, the Finance Department has been awarded the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. To qualify for this award, the Village’s budget document is judged to be outstanding as a financial policy document, operations guide and communications device.

The Village anticipates that for every property tax dollar paid by residents,

approximately 5% will go to the Village of Orland Park to fund operating expenses. This number is anticipated to be 1% lower than the 2023 tax breakdown, due to a reduction in the tax levy. All percentages presented above, except the anticipated Village of Orland Park’s 5%, are based on a 2023 tax bill from a $750,000 property located in Cook County. Full 2024 tax information will not be made available until Q2 2025, after the printing of this publication.
