Building Permit Requirements
Building permits help keep homes, businesses, and facilities safe and compliant with applicable building codes. Most construction projects require a permit. All permitted work must be inspected to confirm it meets City regulations.
If you own and live in a single-family home, you may perform much of the work yourself, but a licensed electrician must complete electrical service upgrades. Work on commercial, industrial, or multi-family properties generally requires licensed and bonded contractors.
To find out if your project requires a building permit, call 708-343-8700 or email buildingdept@northlakecity.com.
