The Village of Roscoe requires zoning permits for certain building and construction projects, as well as other registration and licenses. Zoning permit applications and submittals must comply with Village codes, which are established to provide safeguards for the public’s health and welfare.
Residential Permit Applications

Please allow up to two (2) weeks for permit review during peak construction season. Processing times may vary depending on application volume.
Not sure if you need a Village permit, a County permit or both? First, you need to determine if you are a resident of the Village. You can do this by looking at your tax bill. If you pay taxes to the Village of Roscoe, you live within the village limits.

Know what's below, call before you dig! Click here to submit a J.U.L.I.E. request.
JULIE stands for Joint Utility Locating Information for Excavators. They are a non-for-profit corporation dedicated to keeping Illinois safe and connected. Too frequently an underground utility is damaged or someone is hurt because somebody decided to dig without having companies mark and flag. JULIE is a free one-call center service. They do not dig or own any underground utilities. Companies will mark their own underground utilities once a JULIE request is made.
