Application for Building Permits may be obtained from the Village Office or through our Applications/Permits page, and completed forms should be returned to the Village Office with any required supporting documents. Submitting applications via email to permits@glen-carbon.il.us is suggested. A fee will be charged for a permit based on a fee schedule approved by the Village Board of Trustees.
Secondary responsibilities of the Building Department are to administer and enforce the Zoning Code; and work closely with the Village Board of Trustees and Building and Development Committee.
The Zoning Code regulates the uses permitted on properties within various Zoning Districts; establishes required yard dimensions and heights of buildings; regulates the uses to which yards may be put; regulates off-street parking requirements, fences, walls exterior signage etc.
Inspections of work for which Building Permits are issued are performed by one of the Village Building Inspectors. As work is performed, periodic inspections will be made to see that work complies with approved plans and applicable codes. An inspection can be scheduled by emailing inspections@glen-carbon.il.us. If the inspector visits and you do not know him, ask for identification.
