For your protection, all building ordinances are strictly enforced. A fee is charged to help cover the cost of the inspection. Before starting a project, please contact the Building Department in the Village Hall.

About the Building Department
The Building Commissioner, who is dedicated to the fulfillment of the Village and departmental objectives and responsibilities, heads the Building Department. A staff of inspectors that are trained and experienced in their professional fields support him.
In order for every section in the Village to have a high standard of construction or rehabilitation work, the Building Department issues what is termed a building permit. This permit is a safeguard to the community that the work being done is in conformance with zoning, health, fire, and safety standards as authorized under the Village of Worth.

A permit is necessary for the protection of the individual performing the job, for the property owner, and for the Village. A safe, general guide to follow is that permits are required in all cases of new construction. With respect to existing buildings, permits are required in instances where the proposed work involves structural changes, light and ventilation, exits, size of rooms, fire-safety requirements, sanitary facilities or any other work that may result in changes to the heights, area, capacity, use or occupancy of a building.
