Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Mundelein?
Yes. In Illinois, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Mundelein is no exception.
Repiping a home's water distribution or drainage requires a permit in most Illinois jurisdictions and must be performed by an Illinois-licensed plumber under the statewide Illinois Plumbing Code. Minor repairs such as clearing a stoppage or replacing a faucet are typically exempt, but replacing or rerouting piping is not. Repiping water, waste, or vent lines in Mundelein requires a plumbing permit, and replacing a water or sewer service line is also permitted work. Confirm the scope with the Building Department at 847-949-3283. In Illinois, plumbing must be performed by a state-licensed plumber (regulated by IDPH), and any contractor other than the owner must be registered with the Village before a permit is issued. Applications are filed through the BS&A Online portal, and any work extending into public property such as a service line in the parkway may require additional Village review. Call JULIE (811) before you dig.
