Building Permit

Once your permit has been approved you can pay for your building permit at the Village Hall in person with cash, check, money order  or credit/debit card, there is a $2 fee if you use a credit card at the counter or online. (We cannot take payments over the phone.) We are open Mon-Fri 8 am-4:30 pm. If you prefer to mail a check and you need a hard copy of the permit, please include a self-addressed postage paid envelope and I will return the permit to you. (If not, the permit will be emailed to the applicant  as soon as we process the check.) If you have any questions please contact the Building Department at (630) 896-8080 ext. 9023.

IMPORTANT UPDATE - November 1, 2024

The Village of Montgomery is pleased to announce an upcoming upgrade to our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software through provider BS&A. This transition will begin on November 4 and is an important step in improving the efficiency and quality of our services.  No Permits or Contractor's Licenses will be processed between November 6 and November 11 as this transition takes place.

Key Details for Residents and Contractors:
- Payment Process: All online payments will still be processed securely through PSN (Payment Service Network) available online at montgomeryil.org or by phone 877-885-7968 (automated payment) or 866-917-7368 (live assistance). 
- Temporary Delays: During the transition period, there may be instances of brief downtime with our internal software. Although payments will be accepted, you may notice a delay in the time it takes for your payments to post to your account. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
- Transition Timeline: The initial transition phase is expected to take approximately ten days. On November 15, our staff will have completed the onsite training for the new system modules, which will then be integrated across all areas of Village operations.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to enhance our services for the community. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our team.
