City of Chicago Residential Garage Demolition Program

The City of Chicago, Department of Buildings has developed an efficient process for wrecking residential garages.  When a garage needs to be removed and will not be rebuilt, the city will issue a permit with an Easy Permit Application. Requirements for this permit include:
  • An Easy Permit Application completely filled out with the owner’s signature and the garage dimensions.  The Property Index Number (PIN) must also appear on the application.
  • A signed contract between both owner and contractor detailing the scope of work; and including the stipulation that all debris will be removed from the site and disposed of at a proper facility.
  • Interior and exterior pictures of the existing garage.
  • No sign offs will be required from any other department, except from the Department of Water Management.When plumbing piping is supplied to the garage a B-Permit (to disconnect water) is required from the Department of Water Management. Water supply must be disconnected by a licensed and bonded plumbing contractor.
  • This type of permit will only be issued with a licensed General Contractor, Wrecking Contractor or Garage Company.  The fees will be $125.00.
More information about this program can be found on the City of Chicago's website.
