Online Building Permit System

ONLINE BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

Homeowners and design professionals can now apply for the following permit types via the Village of Northbrook’s online permit application system:

Upon review and approval of the permit application, the applicant will be able to pay for permit fees via the Village’s online credit card payment system and all permit documentation will be sent to the applicant electronically.

HOMEOWNER SUBMITTING FOR PERMIT

Homeowners have the option of submitting their permit application with or without creating an account. Creating an account, while not required, will allow the homeowner to access information related to the permit after submission (tracking the permit’s progress, inspection reports and access to previous / future permit submittals).

NOTE: A completed permit application and any support documentation will be required for permit submittal. Please have this completed information saved on your computer in a PDF format for submittal during the application process.

Should the homeowner opt not to open an account at the time of submittal, an account can be registered at a later time with access to the permit history.
