The Permit Process
Once your drawing(s), specifications, and permit application have been reviewed and approved, you will be issued a building permit. The review process can take some time, so submit your application and plans as soon as possible before you plan to begin work. The Village of Milan attempts to review all plans within fifteen (15) days of receipt. Once you receive the permit, you may begin construction of a building project in accordance with the plans that you submitted.
The best way to find out if you need a permit is to call the Village of Milan Building Inspector at 309-787-8527. Discuss your plans with any of our inspectors when you begin planning your project to determine whether you need a permit.

- New buildings
- Additions (bedrooms, bathroom, family rooms, etc.)
- Residential work (decks, garages, fireplaces, pools, water heaters, etc.)
- Renovations (garage conversions, basement finishing, kitchen expansions, re-roofing, etc.)
