Building

A building permit is required for construction of a new building or accessory structure or an addition to an existing structure that increases or reduces its size, creates any structural changes, or involves extensive plumbing or electrical work. Contact the Building Department if you are planning any work on or around your property to avoid any penalties and/or fines for work completed without a permit.  Most building projects require a permit to ensure that the project meets Village and other related building codes for safety and structural integrity. Homeowners can do many of their own construction projects. The Building Department can confirm any specific requirements. Contact the Village Hall with any questions at (815) 385-6023 or email building@johnsburg.org.

Chapter 24 of the Johnsburg Municipal Code sets forth the rules and regulations for building in the Village of Johnsburg.  Click on the links below for further information.
