Building Permits & Inspections

The Village’s building department services - plan review, building permits, and building inspections - are conducted by a third-party vendor SAFEbuilt Illinois, and no longer handled by Municipal Center staff.

The entire permitting process, from registration through permit assignmnet, is processed online with all project status communications conducted by email.

Contractor Registration

Prior to conducting work in the Village, contractors must register with SAFEbuilt, by completing  a contractor registration form and submit via email  to  ILinspections@safebuilt.com. Once registration has been confirmed, a link will be provided to apply for a permit.

New Permits

Registered contractors may apply for permits via SAFEbuilt Community Core online permit portal.
