Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Village of Bartelso, Illinois

Rules another office applies inside Village of Bartelso

Village of Bartelso does not set these itself; the county, a health district or the state does, and they apply to every address inside its limits.

• Who permits septicState (with conditions)

  Private sewage (septic) systems on land inside Bartelso village; IDPH is the state rule-maker. Whether a local health agency acts as IDPH agent for Bartelso was not verified.

  • Local health agencies (about 90 in Illinois) also review sewage disposal construction plans, either by local ordinance or as an agent of IDPH; the page does not name Clinton County's role or the agency for Bartelso village.
  • Applies to systems with no surface discharge and to those discharging up to 1,500 gallons per day to the ground surface or to streams.

  surface discharge threshold for state-regulated private sewage systems: <= 1500 gallons per day (systems with no surface discharge are regulated regardless of volume)

  “the division regulates all private sewage disposal systems that have no surface discharge (such as septic tanks and seepage fields) as well as those that discharge up to 1,500 gallons per day to the ground surface or to streams (such as sand filters and aerobic treatment systems).”

• Subdividing landRegulated (with conditions)

  Land inside Bartelso village only if the Clinton County subdivision ordinance applies there (the county zoning ordinance covers villages without their own zoning ordinance). Bartelso's own subdivision rules were not found.

  • The source says the zoning office administers the subdivision ordinance; it does not state the subdivision ordinance's text, thresholds or exemptions.
  • Subdivision plat review is listed on the county zoning page; the scope of the county subdivision ordinance inside villages was not stated.

  “the zoning office also administers the subdivision and floodplain ordinances.”

• Permit processPartial

  Clinton County zoning applications (amendments, variances, special uses); whether this process applies to Bartelso village land was not verified.

  • Applications are processed and forwarded to the Clinton County Zoning Board of Appeals.
  • The page does not describe a building-permit or certificate process for Bartelso village.

  “the department accepts applications for zoning amendments, variances, and special uses which are processed and forwarded to the clinton county zoning board of appeals.”
