When do I need a Building Permit and how can I apply for one?
The Building Department (847-223-2032), located in the Village Hall, issues permits for any building or property changes including roof (IRC R905.2.8.5 drip edge is required at all eaves & gables), fencing, decks, patios, sheds, paving, new furnace, water heater, air conditioner etc. Call the Village Hall before making any interior or exterior changes to your property. Applications are available during normal village hall hours or click here. We no longer require contractors to register in our Village, however, we do need a copy of roofer, plumbing and electrical licenses with the building permit application if applicable. Building permit applications can be emailed to permits@hainesville.org
What is an Occupancy Permit and when do I need one?
The Village of Hainesville no longer requires a certificate of occupancy when selling your property. However the Village of Hainesville requires that a certificate of occupancy be obtained for all properties being RENTED — commercial, industrial, townhomes and single family homes. A certificate of occupancy is required for any property whenever there is a new occupant due to rental. The certificate of occupancy confirms that the property meets all life safety codes. An inspection by the building department is required and can be set up on Monday through Thursday mornings. The cost for this inspection is $50.00 payable BEFORE the inspection takes place. Please call the Village Hall at 847-223-2032 to set up your inspection.
