How long will it take for me to get my permit?
The timeframe for processing a permit is dependent upon a number of factors, including the type
of permit being applied for, revisions by the architect, the time of year, etc. Given all the factors
involved in processing a building permit, it is difficult
to provide a specific number of days. Permit applications for fences, sheds, driveways, etc. should take no longer than 5 working
days to process. Interior remodeling projects typically take 3-4 weeks for the initial plan review. New home construction or additions typically take 6-8 weeks for the initial plan review. Subsequent revision submittals are processed in the order in which they are received, and typically take an additional 2-3 weeks for review (dependent on the extent of the revisions and how many departments must review the revised plans). We cannot control the length of time it takes an architect to return corrections to us.
When are you open?
Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Do you have a copy of my property survey?
Over the years, the village has retained property
surveys submitted with building permit applications. It is best to check
with us to see if we do have one; however, a property survey CANNOT be more than 5 years old when applying for a building permit.
How long is a building permit good for?
A building permit is valid for 15 months from the date of approval for all projects except electrical. Electrical permits that are obtained solely for electrical work are only valid for 6 months. The Village does allow for a permit to be extended for an additional 9 months from the expiration date provided that 50% of the original building permit fee is paid prior to the permit's expiration.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster?
A permit is necessary only if a dumpster is to be placed on the public street or parkway. No permit is required if a dumpster is placed on private property.
How will I know when my building permit
is approved?
A representative of the Department of Community Development will call the
homeowner and the contractor.
When can my contractor work?
After a building permit is obtained, construction hours for residential property
are: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday.
