Palos Hills — Ch. 15.56 Residential Condominium Conversions § 15.56.020
Building plans and subdivision plat of condominiums
Operative Text
Building plans for any conversion into condominium units and a subdivision plat of any conversion into or construction of condominium units shall be submitted to the building department for its approval prior to issuance of any building permits.
Under Palos Hills Chapter 15.56, Section 15.56.020, any project that converts existing buildings into condominium units—or constructs new condominium units—must submit both building plans and a subdivision plat to the building department before building permits can be issued. The building department reviews and must approve these documents as a prerequisite to the permitting process. This requirement applies to both conversion projects and new condominium construction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Developers and property owners pursuing condominium conversions or new condominium construction in Palos Hills must ensure that complete building plans and a subdivision plat are prepared and submitted to the building department for approval before seeking any building permits, as required by § 15.56.020. Compliant operators typically work with licensed architects, engineers, and surveyors to prepare these documents well in advance of anticipated project timelines. Failing to secure building department approval of these materials before permit issuance could halt a project at an early stage.
