How long is a permit good for?

Work has to start within six months or the permit expires. A permit still open after two years must be renewed, which carries a one-time three-month extension.

What about tearing a house down?

A demolition permit gives you three months to finish. The Building Inspector can add one three-month extension; more needs the Board of Trustees. The owner also signs a consent letting the Village finish the job if the applicant doesn't.

Can the Village reject a design?

Yes. The Building Inspector won't approve plans if the Board of Trustees finds the building's look would lower property values within 500 feet.

What do I need before the CO?

Work built to the approved plans and location, final inspections, and final cost information given to the Building Inspector. Nobody can change a building's use from what its last CO allows without a new certificate.
