Bourbonnais Ch. 17 Housing § 17-2 establishes a minimum construction or conversion cost threshold for residential dwellings within the village. Any new building intended for use as a residence, or any existing building converted to residential use, must represent a project cost of at least $30,000. This rule applies regardless of whether the dwelling is for the builder's own use or for others to occupy.

Under Bourbonnais Ch. 17 Housing § 17-2, property owners and developers who plan to build or convert a structure for residential use in the village generally ensure that the total project cost meets or exceeds the $30,000 minimum before proceeding. Compliant operators typically document construction or conversion costs carefully to demonstrate compliance with this threshold. Operators working on projects that may fall near this cost floor often consult with the village's building or housing department to confirm how costs are calculated and recorded.
