How to use this page

Three checks before acting on a local result

Confirm the permit authority. This page is scoped to Chicago, IL. If a property is outside city limits or in a special district, confirm the local authority before using this as a planning path.

Keep permits and incentives separate. A rebate or utility incentive does not replace permit review, and an empty rebate section only means HomeReq has no approved local program record published for this project yet.

Open the official source before starting work. Use the source cards and verification dates as a trail back to the issuing department, utility, or program administrator.

Permit check for insulation or air-sealing work tied to interior alteration or trade scope

Chicago's building permit instructions say a building permit is required before most construction, demolition, and repair work. For insulation or air-sealing work, the closest official Express Permit path depends on the scope: nonstructural interior alteration may cover limited interior alteration work and requires energy and water efficiency compliance documentation, while related electrical, mechanical, plumbing, exterior, or roofing work should use the matching Chicago worktype or plan-based review path.
