Before you file in Illinois

  • Confirm which office has jurisdiction — inside city limits it is usually the city building department, outside them the county.
  • Match the declared valuation to your signed contract; fee tiers and plan-review triggers are calculated from it.
  • Have current general liability and workers' compensation certificates ready; many Illinois counters verify coverage before accepting an application.
  • Check whether your scope requires a licensed sub to pull a separate mechanical, plumbing or electrical permit.
