Details your installer can help confirm
Wood stove permits in Orland Park.
Submit through Orland Park’s permit portal.
Inside Orland Park, building permits come from the Development Services Department at Village Hall, 14700 Ravinia Ave., and are submitted online through the Orland Park Plan and Application Permit Portal as one complete packet. The village’s permit page lists furnace/HVAC work but does not name wood stoves or inserts, so ask developmentservices@orlandpark.org or (708) 403-5300 which permit applies. Plans are reviewed under the 2018 International Residential and Mechanical codes with village amendments. Fees are set during review; the fee code charges $95 per unit for new heating equipment in a single-family home. Inspections are requested online, in person or by email, never by phone, and not for the same day.
Orland Park Building Permit InformationOld Orland homes need historic sign-off first.
Orland Park’s Land Development Code requires every owner in the Old Orland Historic District, and every owner of a landmark, to get a Certificate of Appropriateness before construction or alteration. The process starts with a pre-concept meeting with Development Services, includes a one-hour training credit earned by reading the Resident Handbook, and can go to the Plan Commission and Board of Trustees. Ask Development Services early whether chimney or vent work on your house needs a certificate.
Orland Park Historic District programHire a contractor licensed with the village.
Orland Park says contractors must be licensed with the village before any permits can be issued, and they apply through the Civic Access portal. The village no longer requires certificates of insurance, and it publishes a list of registered contractors. Before signing, check that your stove installer is on that list, or ask whether you will need to pull the permit yourself as the homeowner.
Orland Park: Register as a ContractorOutdoor burns go through the fire district.
Open burning in Orland Park needs a permit from the Orland Fire Protection District, and the burner must call the district’s shift battalion chief at (708) 349-1037 24 hours ahead and again at least two hours before lighting. The district can order a burn put out after complaints or if it harms health or property. This covers outdoor fires, not an indoor stove, but it is the district that enforces smoke complaints.
Orland Fire Protection District: inspections and permitsThis is a planning guide, not a permit determination. The local authority and your installer must confirm current requirements for your property and appliance. We have not verified project-specific approvals or fees.
