Hometown publishes distinct application paths for roofs, siding, windows, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, additions, driveways, decks, fences, concrete, sheds, garages, and pools. This guide adds official links.

Hometown’s parks and walking paths, School District 123 resources, and Cook County property records give buyers three separate address-level checks.

Hometown tells owners preparing to move to apply for a housing inspection and notes that the process may begin up to six months before closing.
