Schaumburg rules we plan around
- Patios need a permit and a plat of survey. They’re allowed in rear yards only, at least 5 feet from property lines, with no more than 40% rear-yard coverage.
- Sidewalk and stoop installs need a permit, and any hired contractor must hold a Schaumburg Contractor’s Business License.
- Sprinkling is allowed only between 5 PM and 11 AM, all year. New sod can be watered at any hour for 30 days.
- Residents must clear driveways, parkways and public sidewalks next to their homes, and blowing or shoveling snow into the street violates Village code.
Before any digging, we request a JULIE utility locate (811), as Illinois law requires.
