Forms and Permits
Forms and Permits
Typable forms may be saved and submitted online to permits@genoa-il.com. All documents required by the permit must be attached and submitted in one email (including scanned plats). Forms may also be printed out and submitted at the City Municipal Building. Again, all forms required in each link must be turned in together.
For a list of fees, please visit Appendix A.
Please also review our Plan Review Submittal Guide.
Covenants and Restrictions
Some subdivisions (Riverbend, Derby Estates, and Oak Creek Unit 4) have private covenants and restrictions which supersede City zoning requirements. The City does not enforce covenants and restrictions. It is recommended that property owners check with their homeowner’s association, builder, or developer prior to commencing any work.
Construction Standards and Specifications
The City of Genoa’s Construction Standards and Specifications can be found here.
Development Application
For annexations, amendments to the zoning ordinance or a zoning map amendment appeal to the Unified Development Ordinance, special use permits, variations, preliminary or final plats of subdivision, or preliminary and/or final planned unit developments, please use a Development Application.
