How do I find a professional (engineer) to prepare my plans? Will the Engineering Division recommend any Engineers or Surveyors for the above work?
No. However; you may look up any professional at the web site of the State of Illinois Department of Professional Regulation. The web site is: www.dpr.state.il.us. Once on this web site, click on “License Look-up” in the upper right corner under the “Agency Features” heading. (You will need to know the name of the individual in question beforehand. The purpose of this search feature is not to tell you who is available in your geographic area. In order to obtain names for the above search you should consult your Yellow Pages. As a public entity, the Village cannot make recommendations). Select a professional “field” such as “Professional Engineer” or “Land Surveyor” from the arrow menu and enter the last name of the individual. The web site will give you the individuals license number, city of residence, license status, and expiration date. The site will also tell you if the individual has ever been disciplined by the State of Illinois.
