The Community Development Department strives to ensure public safety, health, and welfare of all Village residents and the business community.

The primary responsibilities of the department include:

• Enforcement of all building and zoning codes
• Issuance of building permits
• Conducting inspections
• Plan review
• Monitoring all phases of construction and development within the Village

** WATER HEATER  INSTALLATION ** 

There are many things that can go wrong with a water heater installation. If someone who is not properly trained and licensed installs a water heater, there is a chance of making a mistake that can create a dangerous or hazardous condition. Our plumbing inspector looks for proper installation of the gas line and the temperature/pressure relief valve, venting, overflow pan (if required), floor drain, service clearance and electrical supply (if applicable). Without a permit and inspection, it is easy to overlook something, and people could be injured.

** NEW- WINTER 2018 **  BUILDING CODE UPDATE

The Village Board has adopted the 2018 ICC codes with amendments and the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, a code not previously adopted by the Village, and the 2017 National Electric Code.  Implementation of the new codes with amendments,  will be effective January 1, 2019.

** NEW- WINTER 2018 **  NEW SIGN CODE
