Local rules worth knowing

  • Park Ridge requires permits for most construction, including additions, garages, interior and exterior alterations, decks, patios, siding, and HVAC, electrical and plumbing work. Routine maintenance that doesn't relocate existing systems or alter structural walls needs no permit.
