Building Inspection Services

The Development and Planning Services Department requires mandatory inspections for permitted work within the Village.

Schedule an Inspection

To schedule an inspection, call the Permit Coordinator Desk at 847-664-4050 a minimum of 48-hours in advanced of the proposed inspection. You will need the property address to schedule an inspection. 

A re-inspection fee will be charged for each failed inspection or an inspection not canceled at least four hours prior to inspection.
