Roofing permits & building code in Mundelein

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Mundelein are set locally by Village of Mundelein Building 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.

THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE WITH LOCAL AMENDMENTS, PER THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT'S HOMEOWNER PROJECT GUIDE. The guide, updated July 14, 2026, lists among the construction codes the Village uses for all types of construction the 2024 International Residential Code with local amendments, the 2024 International Building Code with local amendments and the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code with State of Illinois amendments. The guide says its contents come from "Codes and Ordinances adopted by the Village" and, for the amendments, tells readers to "select Municipal Code and Ordinances; Title 16 Building" and Construction. The amendments are codified in Title 16 of the Village Code, which this record did not read, so it does not state the adopting ordinance or whether the Village has amended the IRC's roof provisions.
