Kane County is continuing to accept and process building and zoning permit applications as well as administering our other programs.  Our team is prepared, equipped and committed to serving residents and businesses as well as the development and construction community through this time.

We request that the public conduct business by phone and email as much as possible.  In-person submittals may be made at our office during regular business hours, by taking the elevator to the fourth floor after receiving a temperature check at the first floor entrance.  Please note the following changes to our policies and procedures for submittals:

  • PDF's of applications, submittals, building plans, plan revisions and other documents typically submitted as a hard copy may now be emailed to: KaneBuildingDeptPermits@KaneCountyIL.gov
  • If you use Microsoft Outlook you can also use this link: KaneBuildingDeptPermits.
  • Original copies may be required to be mailed or delivered in the future.
  • Payments for permit fees may be made online at: ipn2.paymentus.com/rotp/kccs.
  • Once an application has been approved and paid for, the applicant may be required to have the approved PDF printed and available on the project site for the inspector's use.

  • In-person meetings with staff are encouraged to be by appointment.
  • When you arrive for a scheduled meeting, please use the phone to the left of the elevator to call your party.
  • If you are coming to drop off or pick up a permit, please ring the doorbell and wait until you are buzzed in.
  • If there are more than four parties waiting at the counter, we may ask you to wait in the lobby for a short time.


Notice: 2021 Editions of the ICC Codes (as amended by Kane County) are Effective January 1, 2022
