Orland Park mayor announces weekly permit drop-in hours at Village Hall

Mayor Jim Dodge announced that Orland Park’s Development Services Department will hold drop-in hours every Monday from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Village Hall’s Conference Room D so residents, contractors and business owners can get immediate help with permit questions.

Dodge said the sessions bring staff from the building division, planning division and the fire district together in one place to answer questions and guide applicants through the permit process. “We’re trying to make it easier to get answers,” he said, adding that the drop-in hours are a simple way to save time and help projects get off on the right foot.

The village is pitching the service as an on-the-spot alternative to scheduled appointments or email inquiries, intended to reduce delays and confusion that can slow building and business projects. Dodge directed listeners to the village website for additional details and scheduling information.
