Code Enforcement
Code Enforcement works to ensure public safety, health and welfare through code compliance. Primary responsibilities include the following:
Investigating complaints related to County codes, including but not limited to the property maintenance code, building ordinance, zoning ordinance, and water resources ordinance. Notifying owners when their property does not meet County codes. Ensuring that appropriate corrections are completed.
If administrative compliance is not achieved, alleged violations may be referred to either Administrative Adjudication or the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office. Alleged zoning ordinance violations may also be referred to the Development Review Division zoning or building permit-related processes.
To submit a code compliance complaint, you may call 815-774-7890 or Email codeenforcement@willcountylanduse.com.
