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

• Building permitRequired

  Building permits for construction inside Grandview village; the village's own site says permits are obtained through the Sangamon County building safety department, not the village.

  • Source is the village home page; the county building safety department's permit rules and fees were not opened.
