Contractor Registration

The Building Department will not release a permit for construction work to begin unless all contractors for the project are registered with the Village. The Village is not required to process a registration to any contractor responsible for existing code violations until violations have been corrected.  Contractors must submit a completed application along with any other required documents. Village registration will expire one year from date of issuance. Registration becomes invalid if a required license, bond or certificate of insurance expires or is cancelled.
