Building permits in Lisle, IL

What needs a permit

• The Village publishes permit guides for decks, patios, driveways, fences, roofs, siding, windows and doors, water heaters, electrical service and pools.
• Each guide lists what to submit and the inspections the project needs. For remodels, basements and additions, call Development Services before you start.

How to apply

• Apply through the Village's online permit portal, or email the application to Development Services.
• A deck, for example, needs the application, a plat of survey with the deck drawn to scale, a framing layout with lumber sizes and spans, and the specifications for the connectors.
• A site plan from a licensed engineer is needed only if the project changes the grading or disturbs more than 5,000 square feet.

Inspections

• Book inspections 48 hours ahead.
• A deck is inspected before the piers are poured, at rough framing if the underside will be closed in, and at final.
