Scheduling Inpections
All of the Village’s inspectors are trained in their specialties. While they cannot design your project, they are more than willing to offer advice to assist you in completing the job as quickly and easily as possible. If it is necessary to have any inspector stop by your project for assistance, please let Building Services know when you call.
Inspections are mandatory while work is in progress to ensure that construction complies with approved plans and code regulations. Required inspections for your project are listed on our
List of Inspections page or visit our
Inspection Checklists page. Inspections must be scheduled with Building Services, (847) 368-5560, at least 24 hours in advance and 48 hours for final inspections.
Work authorized by a permit must begin within six months from the date the permit was issued and must also be completed within one year. Work extending beyond these time frames requires approval by the Director of Building & Health Services. To obtain approval, fill out the
permit extension letter and submit to Building Services.
After pouring the foundation for new structures, a spotted plat of survey showing the exact location of the foundation on the lot and top of foundation elevation must be submitted to Building Services for approval. No framing on the foundation shall be permitted to occur prior to the approval of the spotted plat of survey. Allow at least 2-3 business days for survey approval.
Be sure to schedule your final inspection.
