Building Codes

The Village of Northbrook is planning to transition to the 2018 series of ICC building codes and the 2017 National Electric Code.  For public review and comment on these new building codes please follow this link.

The Village of Northbrook has adopted various 2012 editions of building codes that are currently being enforced in Northbrook. With this adoption will come a lot of changes to the existing buildling codes, which were last updated in 2007 when the Village adopted a majority of the 2006 editions.

The following is a list of applicable building codes and amendments that were approved by the Village Board on March 24, 2015 via Ordinance 2015-22.
