Application for Building Permit

VILLAGE POLICY ON CONSTRUCTING A GAZEBO

A permit application must be filled out with a Plat of Survey attached showing the location and size of the Gazebo. It will be reviewed before issuing the permit. The 2003 International Residential Code and (if applicable) the 2002 National Electric Code will be followed.

LOCATION/FEES:

     Gazebo must be a minimum of ten (10) feet from rear of the
     house and six (6) feet away from side and rear property line.

     Gazebo cannot be located on an easement. 

     Maximum height is (16) feet from finished grade to the top of
     the structure.

     Indicate how gazebo structure is supported (i.e. piers, slab,
     or properly supported deck).

     The piers or post holes must be inspected before they are
     filled to assure the 42" minimum depth. Slab must be a
     minimum of 4" thick.

    List all materials (including sizes and dimensions) being used.

    A Licensed/Bonded Electrician is required if electric will be
    installed in the gazebo.

    The fee for the gazebo is $38.25. If electric is added an
    additional fee of $38.25 will apply.

REQUIRED INSPECTIONS

     The pier or post holes must be inspected before they are
     filled to assure the 42" minimum depth. 

     Final inspection for the structure (and electric if necessary)
     upon completion.

Call (847) 459-2620 twenty four (24) hours in advance for scheduling all inspections.

If you belong to a Homeowners Association, a letter of permission for installation is required by the Village if required by the Association.
