Orland Park requires building permits for sheds and detached storage structures over 100 square feet, with size, setback, and height limits enforced through the Land Development Code. HOA architectural review is typically required before applying for the village permit.
Shed permits in Orland Park follow the village's residential building permit process. Sheds 100 square feet or smaller may be exempt from village permit but must still meet zoning setbacks (typically 5 ft side and rear, no front yard placement) and height limits (15 feet maximum). Sheds over 100 square feet require building permit applications including site plan with setbacks dimensioned, structural details for prefabricated sheds, anchoring methods, and HOA approval where applicable. Sheds may not exceed maximum lot coverage thresholds. Electrical service to sheds requires separate electrical permit and licensed contractor. HOA-managed subdivisions almost always require architectural review committee approval for shed placement, size, color, and material before village application. Pre-fab sheds from big-box retailers still require permits when over the threshold.
Building shed without required permit: stop-work order, $250-$1,000 fines, possible removal at owner expense. HOA non-compliance: separate enforcement.
