Most interior and exterior renovations in Orland Park require building permits including structural changes, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, additions, finished basements, and major remodels. Cosmetic painting and flooring without trade work generally do not require permits.
Orland Park follows the International Residential Code and International Building Code (latest adopted version) for renovation work. Permits are required for: structural modifications (load-bearing wall removal, additions, dormers); electrical work (new circuits, panel upgrades, extensive rewiring) requiring licensed Illinois electrician; plumbing work (relocation, additions, water heater, sewer/water service) requiring licensed Illinois plumber; HVAC modifications including furnace and AC replacement; basement finishing including egress, electrical, mechanical and plumbing; window and door replacement when structural openings change; and roof replacement (where required by code adoption). Cosmetic work like painting, flooring, cabinet replacement without electrical/plumbing changes generally does not require permits. Inspections occur at framing, rough electrical/plumbing/mechanical, insulation, and final. HOA architectural review applies to exterior changes.
Unpermitted renovation: stop-work order, $500-$2,000 fines, required exposure of concealed work for inspection, possible removal of non-compliant work.
