Building Permits

Permits are required for many remodeling projects, repairs, replacements, new structures, and additions.  Before starting any home improvement project, please contact the Community Development Department at (630) 372-4260 for permit requirements.  Please remember to complete a building permit before starting any work.  If you start work without a building permit, you are subject to a permit penalty and Village personnel have no other alternative than to stop work on your project.  You can print a copy of the Building Permit from our Forms and Permits page in the Reference Desk section of our website.  Click here to go to the Forms and Permits page.

Some of the common construction projects are listed below.  If your project is not listed, be sure to contact Village staff to inquire about regulations which may apply to your project.

When to Start Work

Work on a home improvement project may commence only after a building permit has been issued.  To show a permit has been obtained for the work, please display the permit placard in a window so it is visible from the street throughout the entire project.

Handouts

The Community Development Department has many helpful handouts specifying general regulations for many of the projects listed above.  Handouts are available for decks, patios, driveways, swimming pools, detached garages, sheds, and others.  Please contact the Village staff to see if a handout is available for your project.
