Local property projects
Illinois property project guides
The Illinois directory currently starts with Chicago’s resources for building permits, inspections and business licensing. Keep the property’s local authority and proposed use in view when preparing work. A commercial tenant, landlord and condominium association may each need a different contact involved in the same building project.
Start with the building.
- Confirm the municipality and property address before using a local application resource.
- Name the owner, association and commercial tenant contacts affected by the scope.
- Have the proposed professional identify which local reviews relate to the work and the building use.
A precise scope helps a provider assess the job and gives you proposals that are easier to compare. Include the records you already have and mark anything the provider needs to investigate on site.
