Structure Teardown in Mount Vernon, IL

Yes, a demolition permit is required in Mount Vernon before any structure comes down. You apply through the City's Engineering and Inspections office at City Hall, 1100 Main Street.

A licensed asbestos inspector must check the structure before demolition begins, and if regulated materials are found, a licensed abatement contractor must remove them first. This is a state and federal requirement that applies to most commercial, multi-family, and institutional structures in Illinois.

Bushwhacker Land Management Inc serves Mount Vernon and communities throughout Southern Illinois, including Benton, Marion, Harrisburg, and West Frankfort. Residential teardown, including houses, garages, and outbuildings, is part of what we do.

The City of Mount Vernon requires a permit to tear down houses, mobile homes, garages, carports, covered porches, decks, storage buildings, sheds, and commercial buildings. When in doubt, check with the Engineering and Inspections office before starting any teardown work.

Utilities need to be disconnected and, for most structures built before 1981, an asbestos inspection is required under Illinois EPA rules before demolition begins. Taking these steps before work starts protects you, your property, and keeps the project compliant.
