When lighting a gas grill, keep the top open. If the grill does not light in the first several attempts, wait 5 minutes to allow the gas to dissipate. Consumers should transport gas containers in a secure, upright position. Never keep a filled container in a hot car or trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase, causing the relief valve to open and allowing gas to escape.
Many projects undertaken by a homeowner require a building permit.
Permits are needed for decks, patios, fences, pools, sheds, garages, roofs, underground lawn sprinklers, furnaces, air-conditioners, and other projects. Applications may be picked up at the Gurnee Building Department located in the Village Hall. In addition to project plans, a copy of your plat of survey may be needed. Applications are reviewed for structural requirements, building code compliance, and proper setbacks from property lines. If you have any questions regarding building projects and permits, please do not hesitate to contact the Village's Building Department at 623-7658.
