IMPORTANT Note On the Application Process
One of the real frustrating parts of the building application
process comes when an applicant responds to a request for certain
information and believes the application submission is then complete.
However, it is often necessary later to provide even more information
based on the review by the Building Department of the initial
documentation submitted. Incorrect or incomplete information can
incur delay or worse, rejection of the application. Therefore,
it is important for the applicant and his or her consultants to
keep in touch with the Department (847-551-3003 or email) throughout the
entire permit process and even through construction. Please review
this web site for detail requirements.
