Update 8/26/21

Today, Governor JB Pritzker announced, effective Monday, August 30, the entire state will be under an indoor face covering mandate, regardless of vaccination status. This mandate includes all municipal facilities. Executive Order 2021-20 (available via this link) implements the new statewide face covering mandate.

In addition to the face covering requirements, Governor Pritzker announced that all healthcare workers, including nursing home employees, all Pre-K-12 teachers and staff, as well as higher education personnel and students will be required to be fully vaccinated or submit to, at a minimum, weekly COVID-19 testing. 

The Governor’s press release announcing the new mitigations is available via this link.

Building Permits & Inspections

The Building Department is open during its regular hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Masks are required when entering the building. Applications for building permits can be submitted in person, by email, fax, or regular mail. The Village’s permits are available on the Permit Application page. The Village will not require payment of permit fees at time of application unless you are submitting in person. Permit fees will now be able to be paid at time of permit issuance. Village staff will still be conducting inspections, practicing social distancing protocols. The processes for issuing building permits and requesting inspections will continue with no changes. The Village has installed a drop box by the Village’s main entrance that will allow residents/contractors to drop off plans and permit applications. All possible efforts will be taken to not disrupt construction in the Village, while still protecting the public and Village staff.
