Projects adding 50 square feet or more of lot coverage require a survey completed within one year of the permit application. The survey must be full size, drawn to scale, signed and stamped by an Illinois-licensed land surveyor.

Permit Review Times

Wood Dale lists an initial residential permit review period of approximately three to five business days for projects such as driveway or sidewalk replacement, fences and decks.

Review times are estimates and may be longer during periods of high permit volume or when an application is incomplete.

Required Construction Inspections

Required inspections may be scheduled through the My Wood Dale portal or by calling Community Development. The inspection list depends on the permitted project and approved plans.
