The Village of Glendale Heights and Glen Ellyn Countryside are part of Bloomingdale Township. Townships are a unit of government that do not duplicate services provided by villages, cities, counties or the state. By law, Illinois townships are charged with three basic functions:

• General assistance for residents facing financial hardship.
• The assessment of real estate for the basis of local taxes.
• Maintenance of all roads and bridges outside federal, state and other local jurisdictions.

In addition, Bloomingdale Township also provides funding for mental health services, mosquito abatement, a senior center and more.

Township Trustees establish policy for the township to follow. These policies are generally carried out by the supervisor and clerk in their capacities as administrators. The town board may not establish policies for either the township assessor or the highway commissioner.
