We do. We supply barndominium kits, custom plans, pole barn homes and turnkey builds across Vermilion County. Start with a free survey of your land and we will scope the building, the permits and a price range for your site.

Do I need a permit to build a barndominium in Vermilion County?

Inside Danville, yes: the city issues permits under the 2021 International Residential Code through its online portal. On a rural parcel, you need a Health Department septic permit and, in a floodplain, a floodplain development permit; confirm any village or township requirements before you build.

What does a septic system need in rural Vermilion County?

A soil analysis by a soil classifier, then a permit from the Vermilion County Health Department, which inspects the system after it is built. Percolation tests have not been accepted since January 1, 2014.

How much does a barndominium cost in Vermilion County?

We do not publish a flat price. Soil and septic design, well, driveway and finish level move the number, so we price each build against its parcel after a free survey.

Which building code will my barndominium be built to?

In Danville, the 2021 International Residential Code as the city amends it. Where no local code applies, Illinois law requires the construction contract for a new home to name the residential code the home will be built to.
