How are inspections scheduled?

The county provides a Property Owner Inspection Acknowledgement form among its application forms. For inspection requirements or scheduling, contact the Logan County Zoning Office at 217-732-4773.

Which codes and exemptions should I review?

N/A; the current county permit and zoning pages do not identify a specific 2026 ICC code edition. Applicable state and locally adopted requirements must be confirmed with the Zoning Office. All new construction, additions, remodeling, accessory structures, grain bins, sheds, storage buildings, decks, sunrooms, and portable structures require permits. Routine maintenance or repair, including painting and re-roofing, does not require a building permit according to the county FAQ.

Before contacting the permit counter

Have the project facts ready.

A productive call starts with a clear description of the property and proposed work. Keep the site address, parcel or assessor number, project valuation, existing occupancy, approximate square footage, structural scope, contractor information, and desired start date in front of you. Those facts help the Authority Having Jurisdiction route the question to building, planning, fire, environmental health, or another reviewing discipline.
