Property improvement projects big and small often have to navigate multiple processes designed to ensure public safety and historic preservation through a wide range of local, state and federal regulations.
In the Village of Oak Park, all programs related to property improvements are linked within a central management process designed to offer a one-stop shopping experience for individuals and companies investing in an Oak Park property.
The Development Customer Services Department oversees building permits, inspections, code enforcement, business licensing, parking, planning, historic preservation, zoning, housing and federal grant administration.
This management structure is designed to streamline Village Hall processes and enhance customer service to deliver quicker response times and speedy resolution of issues that can affect a property improvement project or investment opportunity.
