The Building Department is responsible for issuing building permits, providing inspectional services, enforcing the historic preservation ordinance. Building permit applications and permit requirements can be received online, picked up at Village Hall Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. or you can call 847-426-2822 for more information.

Additionally, work such as painting, decorating, flooring and window replacement do not require permits, all other improvements require a permit.  The Village provides printed specification sheets for the most common improvements, such as decks, driveways, fences, pools, roofs, sheds, and unattached garages, and are available online along with code and fee information. After the permit is issued, the contractor needs to schedule on-site inspections at specific stages of construction, a minimum 24 hours in advance. Residents and contractors need to remember that permit fees may double when work is started without a permit. Building permits and inspections are enforced to ensure that all residences and buildings within the Village meet minimum local and national safety standards. This protects the investments that you make in your home.
