Building and Code Enforcement

About

As the Village of Long Grove is a small, limited government all building and zoning work is done through third-party contractors to best serve the needs of the community. The Village of Long Grove Building Department's goal is to ensure that structures built or renovated in Long Grove are safe, including homes, businesses, and other structures, from hazards incidental to the design, erection, repair, and occupancy of buildings through proper inspection practices with qualified building inspectors. Through efficient code enforcement and local ordinances, the Building Department strives to preserve the appearance and property value of existing housing and businesses. Safety and well-being is our top priority which is done through comprehensive reviews of building plans, inspection reviews, issuing of permits, and investigating complaints related to building codes and local ordinance violations.
