Building Department

A building permit is required for construction of a new building or accessory structure or an addition to an existing structure that increases or reduces its size, creates any structural changes, or involves extensive plumbing or electrical work. Contact the Building Department if you are planning any work on or around your property to avoid any penalties and/or fines for work completed without a permit.  Most building projects require a permit to ensure that the project meets Village, and International code for safety and structural integrity. Homeowners can do many of their own construction projects. The Building Department can confirm any specific requirements. See list of projects below that require permits. If the project you are planning is not listed, please contact the Municipal Center at 815-675-2121. 

Preliminary Procedures for Obtaining a Building Permit:
