The Building Department Assisting Residents:
The current population is approximately 13,001 - a growth of 6.63% since the year 2000. There are approximately 4,362 residential households; 245 multi-family buildings; over 500 new town homes, a 3-story nursing care facility; and 250 commercial business establishments.
The Building Department has instituted a Contractor's Work Permit Program to ensure that all contractors are insured, licensed, and registered, to work in the Village. All insurance and professional licenses are verified to protect residents from unscrupulous and substandard contractors. Lists of approved and registered contractors are available, upon request, to help residents with their additions and home improvement projects.
The Building Department maintains a professional staff that works hand in hand with residents, who wish to act as their own general contractor, walking them through their building projects. They also work with the contractors, real estate agents, developers, architects, and engineers on a regular basis. Each of our inspectors are knowledgeable in their specialized areas and receive continuing education to keep up with changes in building products and techniques.
Information on building permit requirements can be viewed within the Permits and Inspections section of our website, within the Residential Construction Package form. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Building Department at 708-458-2130, or by sending and email to Permits@VillageofJustice.org.
