Illinois permit costs by city
Every figure on these pages comes from the fee schedule the city or county publishes. 2 jurisdictions so far.
Where we have fee data
A county appears as its own entry when it issues permits for unincorporated areas. That is a real distinction, not a technicality: an address outside a city’s limits is often the county’s permit to issue. Use our permit fee calculator to estimate fees for these jurisdictions.
