Do you have a list of licensed contractors that can perform work in the Village?
Yes! Information about and a list of all contractors currently registered with the Village can be accessed here.
How do I obtain a building permit?
Complete a permit application and submit it, with any required attachments, to the Community Development Department. Building Permit Applications are available online. Applications can also be submitted using our Citizen Self Service portal.
Some permits may be obtained the same day, however many require a site check inspection. In those cases, permits can generally be issued within 36-48 hours. Permits that require a building plan review may take 15 business days to process. There is no fee to submit a permit application. Fees are only assessed after the permit has been approved.
Can I pay by credit card?
We accept cash, credit, debit and personal checks. Payments can also be made online in the Citizen Self Service portal.
Do you have the rules and regulations for specific projects?
The most widely requested project guidelines are available on-line. These include decks, siding, roofs, driveways, and pools. We have a complete set of project guidelines for almost any job in the Community Development Department.
Where are you located and how long are you open?
The Community Development Department is in the Village Hall (301 E Irving Park Road). The Department is open from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm Monday - Friday.
