Track construction activity across 131 Illinois cities. Each city page shows the source date and available permit and contractor fields.
Most building permits in the United States cost between $150 and $2,000, with a national median around $1,300. Permit fees are usually set as a percentage of the declared project value — commonly 0.5% to 2% — or on a per-$1,000-of-valuation schedule, so a larger Illinois project pays a proportionally larger permit fee.
