Permits
PERMITS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL WORK WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAYS AND SOME PROJECTS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. ALSO, SOME WORK THAT REQUIRES A DUPAGE COUNTY PERMIT REQUIRES A REVIEW AND A TOWNSHIP ROAD DISTRICT PERMIT. If you are not sure, please call our office.
Any time work is done in the right-of-way or on the street in front of a property, a permit is required. Examples are tree planting, driveway installation, or replacement.
Driveway lights and sprinkler systems cannot be installed in the right-of-way. They should be installed within the confines of your property. Projects that may require County Building Permits, but would be waived by the Township are:
- Fences
- re-roof
- landscaping
- electric
- plumbing
- window replacement
- siding
Permits requiring a Township Road Permit are as follows:
- New house
- driveway
- garage
- pools
- room additions
- deck, patio, or retaining walls
- demolition of any existing construction
If the Township issues a permit that includes a construction bond, the bond is fully refundable upon completion, provided no damage is found to township property.
If any damage to Township property remains uncorrected, we will make the necessary repairs and deduct the cost from the bond.
Unauthorized work may be removed, and charges for the removal will be assessed to the homeowner.
