City of Country Club Hills Building Department, Permits & Construction Profile

Country Club Hills says its Building Department and Community Development Department is responsible for issuing necessary building permits and enforcing building, housing, health, planning, and zoning matters through the Building Commissioner. The city accepts online applications for building permits, inspections, and other services through BS&A, and permit applicants need a BS&A account to use the system. The permits page separates online services from contractor licensing, driveway, electrical, fencing, mailbox, plumbing, roof, siding, post-hole, sign, pool, deck, shed, addition, alteration, and general permit-procedure materials.

Planning and Zoning Are Not Separate from Building

Because the department enforces planning and zoning matters along with building and housing, site or use questions can move with the permit instead of after it.
