Transparency Portal

The County Auditor's Office has concentrated its efforts to bring greater transparency to DuPage County. In November 2012, the Sunshine Review awarded DuPage County with an "A-" rating for the website transparency score.  The Illinois Policy Institute has also given DuPage County a high mark for transparency. 

To expand on that effort the Office has provided this portal which provides links to various points for County information.
