Local permit requirements
The permit office and adopted electrical code depend on the property address.
The permit office depends on whether the property is inside a municipality or in unincorporated Madison County. The cities and villages here run their own building departments, and Alton, Godfrey, and Edwardsville each issue their own electrical permits and do their own inspections. For unincorporated areas, Madison County's Building and Zoning department handles land use and development through its own permit and inspection process.
Illinois local governments adopt their own codes, so nearby properties may follow different editions. The property address determines which permit office and code apply.
Unincorporated permitting: Madison County Planning & Development, Building and Zoning and its Permits & Inspections office. Local code adoption in Illinois: Illinois Capital Development Board. Municipal permits: Alton Code Enforcement, Village of Godfrey Building and Zoning, and City of Edwardsville building permits.
