Whenever you are considering remodeling your basement, bathroom or kitchen, a Residential Building Permit must be submitted and a plan review conducted. A detailed drawing of the remodeling work, along with a written scope of work, must accompany the application. If you have hired a contractor(s) to perform the work, the contractor must obtain a Contractor's Business License with the Village before a permit can be issued. Once the staff review is complete, you will be notified that the permit is ready to be issued.

Those with additional questions can contact the Permitting Division of the Community Development Department at 847-923-4420.
