A township permit/bond is required for almost all construction projects at properties along the roads that we maintain in unincorporated Lisle Township. Some examples are driveway replacements, decks, additions, demolitions, re-roofs with tear-offs, interior renovations, new construction and more.

Most construction work that requires a DuPage County building permit also requires a Lisle Township Highway Dept. entrance permit.  The ONLY projects that require County building permits but are exempt from Township permits are: 

 *Satellite Dish * Fence  *Alarm System *Shed without a concrete base

To apply for and receive a permit/bond, call our office.  In most instances it can be ready for you the next day. 

The permit/bond is fully refundable after the project is completed if no damage is found within the Township's right-of-way.  Should there be any damage to the sidewalk, ditch, parkway, curb, or road that is not fixed by you, we will make repairs and deduct that cost from the bond. 

To get a bond refund, contact our office to set up an inspection of the right-of-way.

Some items to note:

·        Driveway lights, sprinkler systems and  invisible fencing for dogs CANNOT be installed in the right-of-way. 

·        Bonds expire two years after issuance, unless special arrangements are made with us.

·        Unauthorized work may be removed.  The owner will be charged for removal costs. 

This is only a guide and not all-inclusive.  Permit fees are subject to change.
