Did you know that the City of Chicago offers assistance in regards to permits for homeowners? The Home Owner Assistance permit process allows the owner occupant of a single family home to prepare the architectural drawings for a home alteration or addition with the assistance of a Department of Buildings Project Manager. No architect is required.
The Project Manager will perform the zoning review and assist in the preparation of a simple set of code compliant permit drawings. Complex zoning issues, however, may require a Zoning Ordinance Administration review in Room 905 of City Hall. The Home Owner Assistance process typically requires 3 to 5 one hour meetings with the Project Manager at any of their three Neighborhood Residential Permit Centers. The owner occupant must personally attend and participate in all meetings.
You can visit the Neighborhood Residential Permit Center page for office locations, hours of operation and phone numbers at www.cityofchicago.org/buildings .
If you are caught without a permit, you may receive a costly Building Code Violation. The City of Chicago can also review your buildings past history and cite you for something that happened 10 years ago in which you did not obtain a permit.
