We encourage you to use the tools and resources on this site to assist you.

I am proud to call Freeburg home with its cordial community atmosphere created by the beautiful rural setting and approximate 4,600 residents.  Freeburg is located approximately 24 miles southeast of the City of St. Louis, Mo. which offers the advantages of a small community with accessibility to the major metropolitan area and its attractions.

I encourage all Freeburg residents to discover how useful our new website can be. In this one location, you can pay your utility bill, read public notices, view job openings, place a work order, and learn about the many village departments that serve you each day. Feel free to browse around; we're confident you'll find what you're looking for.
