The Village of Dixmoor has revised its protocols for Building Permits and Contractor Registrations:

Click here to download a building permit application. To request a building permit application or to complete a contractor’s registration form, please call (placeholder) or email your request to the email address provided below. Please be specific about your request. Your call or email will be returned as soon as possible along with specific instructions. All applications should be placed in the drop box located just outside Village Hall. If your application and subsequent documents do not fit in the drop box, please call and a staff person will meet you at the West doors to receive your application and documents.

Please note that all exterior property work/construction requiring inspections will be available.

All interior work/construction requiring interior inspections will only be conducted if all those present in the home are wearing face coverings and are practicing proper social distancing. For the safety of all those present, the building inspector will refuse inspection and not enter the home if these safety precautions are not followed. 

Payment for permits and registrations will be available by both credit card over the phone and/or by mail.
