Illinois Motor Fuel Tax Funds
Source, Distribution, and Uses
Sources of Illinois Motor Fuel Taxes
The Illinois Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) Fund is derived from a tax on the privilege of
operating motor vehicles upon public highways and of operating recreational
watercraft upon the waters of this state, based on the consumption of motor fuel.
The motor fuel taxes deposited in the Illinois MFT Fund are:
. 19.0 cents per gallon.
. 2.5 cents per gallon on diesel fuel in addition to the tax above.
The Department of Transportation allocates these monies according to the MFT
Fund Distribution statute (35 ILCS 505/8) and initiates the process for distribution
of motor fuel tax to the counties, townships and municipalities.
Each month warrants are issued to each municipal treasurer in the amount of the
municipality's share and to each county treasurer in the amount of the county's and
the county road district/townships' share of the Illinois Motor Fuel Tax Fund
collected for the preceding month.

Department of Transportation. The corporate authorities of the municipality must
adopt an ordinance or a resolution appropriating the MFT funds. The ordinance or
resolution shall state how the funds are to be used and shall be submitted to the
lOOT district office for approval. When MFT funds are to be used for construction,
the ordinance or resolution shall specify the location, type or types, length and
width of proposed construction.
The Department of Transportation must approve the plans, specifications, and
estimates of any construction project prior to the municipality advertising for bids
and letting the contract. The Department of Transportation must concur in the
award of the contract. When MFT funds are to be used for maintenance, the
Department of Transportation must also approve the maintenance estimate prior
to advertising for bids. All work requiring bids must be advertised in the
Department of Transportation's weekly contractors' bulletin. Engineering
agreements also require approval by the Department.
