Committee sees heavy permit activity: 649 permits reported for the month

Kankakee City Building and Code Safety Committee · August 21, 2026

Summary

The director reported 649 permits for the month with a total value shown in the packet; members noted the continued high volume of permitting and asked staff to track progress on outstanding repairs and adjudication cases.

At the Aug. 20 meeting the committee reviewed the monthly permits report, which listed a "grand total" of 649 permits for the period and a total dollar figure printed in the packet.

The chair summarized the figure and committee members said the city remains busy with permitting and repair work. Members asked staff to track adjudication outcomes and the status of outstanding work addressed through permits and to continue reporting permit totals in monthly packets so aldermen can monitor trends.

No policy changes or programmatic actions were taken; the item was presented for situational awareness and will continue to be reported monthly.
