Roofing permits & building code in Hanover Park

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Hanover Park are set locally by Village of Hanover Park Fire Department Inspectional Services Division. Illinois licenses roofing contractors at the state level: under the Roofing Industry Licensing Act (225 ILCS 335) no roofing work may be done except by a state-licensed roofing contractor or qualifying party, with a limited license for residential properties of 8 units or less and an unlimited license for everything else, and a city or county that requires a building permit may not issue one to a roofing contractor without proof of current state licensure, while some cities add their own contractor registration on top — always confirm the current requirements with the authority before starting work.

Adopted building code
THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE AS AMENDED, PER THE VILLAGE'S OWN CODES PAGE. The Village's Building Codes page says "The Village has adopted international model building codes to set minimum building standards for the community" and lists "2024 International Residential Code as amended" and "Current Illinois Energy Conservation Code per State Law." The Roofs handout says "All roof work is to comply with the requirements of Chapters 8 and 9 of the current International Residential Code." The amendments are codified in the Hanover Park Municipal Code, which this record did not read, so it does not state whether the Village has amended the IRC's roof provisions beyond what its handout states.
