Are you looking to have a fence installed in your backyard? According to the village's website, Mokena requires all residents to obtain a building permit before starting the fence installation process. Whether you are replacing an existing fence or having a new fence installed, it's imperative that you get a license for your next project.
To start the process, visit the village's website and download a PDF of the fence permit application. You will want to sign and complete the form and return it to the Community Development Department. You must also contact the Joint Utility Locating Information for Excavators (JULIE) at (800) 892 - 0123 before the fence company starts digging in your backyard. JULIE will send someone out to mark underground cables.
The village also requires you to use a registered fence contractor to complete fence installations in Mokena. If you have additional questions about fence permits, contact the village at (708) 479-3930.
The first step is to complete the fence permit application. The village of Mokena will ask you questions about you as the homeowner and the proposed fence installation. You will need to provide the necessary information, such as your name, address, phone number, etc. They will also want to know the details about the new fence. For instance, you will have to answer questions regarding the proposed height of the fence, the style, and the materials the fence company plans to use during the installation process.
If you plan to have a fence company in Mokena complete the work, you will need to provide the village with the company's name, address, and phone number. You want to verify that the fence contractor you've selected is registered to complete fence installations within the Village of Mokena. Choosing an unlicensed contractor could result in an application denial.
As we mentioned above, you will need to submit a completed and signed copy of the fence permit application. You will also need to provide a copy of your Plat of Survey indicating the exact position you plan to install the fence. The village of Mokena wants to verify that the fence will be installed on "your" property, not the neighbors'.
We recommend that you make a copy of the Plat of Survey, then use a highlighter to indicate the precise location of the fence. Also, make sure to obtain a copy of the official contract from the fence company — you will need to submit this as well. The village of Mokena wants to see in writing the total estimated value of the fence installation.
