Roofing permits & building code in Lisle

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Lisle are set locally by Village of Lisle Development Services Department. 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 WITH LOCAL AMENDMENTS, PER THE VILLAGE'S OWN CODES PAGE. The Village's Codes and Ordinances page says "The following building codes have been adopted by the Village of Lisle" and "Local amendments to these building codes can be found in Title 4 of the Lisle Village Code," and lists "2024 International Residential Code" and "2024 International Energy Conservation Code." The roof permit guide's checklist still cites "the 2021 International Codes," so the guide predates the Village's current list. The amendments are codified in Title 4 of the Village Code, which this record did not read, so it does not state whether the Village has amended the IRC's roof provisions.
