The Village encourages residents to get to know one another by gathering for a Block Party. Block party applications are available at Village Hall or by selecting below. The form provides party planners with the necessary details (Fire and/or Police personnel visits, Public Works barricades) needed before the date of the party. All block part applications must be filed with the Clerk at least 14 days before the requested party date.

Business licenses are required for the maintenance and operation of any business or establishment, including home-based businesses. The license year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. Applications may be picked up at Village Hall.

The first step for licensing your business is to apply for a Zoning and Occupancy Inspection with the Community Development Department. After a satisfactory inspection, your business license can be issued. A Liquor License can be issued only after Village Board approval and hearing with Liquor Commission.

The Village offers convenient online submittals for both the Occupancy Permit and Business License in our Citizen Self Service portal. Please note that these are two separate processes each requiring their own application submittal.
