This service is provided for protection of the property owner and the Village. Applications for permits are available in the Building Department. Water sprinkling regulations mandated by the State of Illinois are in effect from May 15 until September 15 of each year. The program is designed to ensure adequate water supplies for consumer and fire protection. These restrictions do not apply for hand-held sprinkling devices.
Violators are subject to penalties and fines.
Any person who conducts a garage sale must first obtain a permit from the Village. One sign advertising the sale may be displayed in the front yard of the premises and shall not exceed dimensions of two feet by two feet. In addition, no more than three directional signs not exceeding two feet by two feet in size may be placed off-site provided they are located on private property whose owner has given permission for placement of the garage sale directional signs. These signs must be removed no later than two hours after conclusion of the sale, and in no event later than 10 pm on the Sunday the permit expires. All dogs and cats must be licensed yearly and inoculated against rabies.
