Use this address when the jurisdiction needs to be listed as a certificate holder on a contractor's insurance documentation.

Additional Notes

Village does not maintain a full-time in-house Building Department; per the village's own site it has an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Carpentersville to provide building-department services. Permit applications can be emailed to permits@sleepyhollowil.org or dropped off at Village Hall. Direct WebFetch of the building-department page was blocked (403), so this is sourced from cached/indexed sleepyhollowil.org content via search rather than a live fetch; phone number and address were confirmed on other sleepyhollowil.org pages (Contact Us / media page).

What You Need Before Applying for a Permit

Most building departments ask for the same core package before they'll issue a permit: a completed application naming the property owner and contractor, the contractor's state license number and proof of insurance (general liability, and workers' comp if employees are on the job), a notice of commencement or equivalent recorded filing for larger jobs where the state requires one, and scaled plans or a site plan for anything beyond minor repairs. Roofing, fence, pool, and solar permits typically have their own simplified checklists — Village of Sleepy Hollow's department (above) can confirm exactly what applies to your project.

Why this matters for insurance: permit history is one of the first things an underwriter or adjuster checks. Unpermitted work — a finished basement, an added bedroom, a rebuilt roof — can complicate a claim or even void coverage for that portion of the loss, and it routinely surfaces during a home inspection. Pulling the right permit up front, and keeping the closed-permit record on file, protects both the property's value and its insurability at resale.
