Building
& Zoning Department Description
The Village of
Glen Carbon Building and Zoning Department enforces standards for
the construction of buildings within the Village limits, to ensure
the safety of the public. It does this by administering and enforcing
the Illinois State Building Codes and The Building Code of the Village
of Glen Carbon.
To meet these requirements, the Department:
Reviews applications and plans for new construction, and the alteration of existing structures.
Issues building permits.
Performs inspections of new or substantially altered buildings to assure that construction has been completed according to the appropriate codes and laws, and when necessary, then grants approval.
Investigates complaints, typically concerning illegal construction and housing maintenance standards.
Suggests updates to the Village Code to reflect social and technological changes.
Prepares public hearings for Planning and Zoning Board of Appeals.
Administers Housing Code and conducts all inspections of rental property.
The Department consists of the Building and Zoning Official, 2 Building Inspectors and is primarily responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Building Code which regulates the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings and their related equipment as necessary to safeguard the safety, health, and welfare of the occupants and the public.
Application for Building Permits may be obtained from the Village Office or on this web site's Forms on Line page, and when completed should be returned to the Village Office with any required supporting documents. A fee will be charged for a permit based on a fee schedule approved by the Village Board of Trustees.
Secondary responsibilities of the Building Department are to administer and enforce the Zoning Code; and work closely with the Village Board of Trustees and Building and Development Committee.
The Zoning Code regulates the uses permitted on properties within various Zoning Districts; establishes required yard dimensions and heights of buildings; regulates the uses to which yards may be put; regulates off-street parking requirements, fences, walls exterior signage etc.
When is a building Permit required? If any of the following occur:
New residential construction
New commercial construction
Roofs
Decks
Fences
Garages/carports
Sheds
Room additions
Siding
Pools
Signs
Service upgrades
Remodeling jobs
Inspections of
work for which Building Permits are issued are performed by the
Village Building Inspector. When a permit is issued an Inspection
Record Card for that permit is given to the inspector. When work
is started, notify inspector by calling the Village Office at 288-2612.
As work is performed, periodic inspections will be made to see that
work complies with approved plans and applicable codes; date and
work inspected is noted on inspection card. If the inspector visits
and you do not know him, ask for identification.
Zoning Code Appeals. Once in a while property owners desire to construct
something on their property which is not in accordance with Zoning
Code requirements and therefore the work cannot be approved for
a permit by the Building Commissioner. In such case the property
owner may appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a hearing
to see if a variance can be granted, thus permitting the work.
The Planning and Zoning Commission meets the 1st and 3rd
Tuesdays of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Board chamber
if there is an agenda. Public hearing requests and other items of
business must be in the Village Building and Zoning Department Office
no later than 20 days in advance of its meeting or public hearings.
