Willow Springs lists pools, decks, fences, sheds, driveways, roofs, windows, doors, building systems, and fireplaces among projects that can require permits.

Willow Springs is served by Metra’s Heritage Corridor, a line whose operating pattern is more limited than many Chicago-area rail lines.

Willow Springs’ setting along the Des Plaines River and near Forest Preserves land makes topography and drainage important address-level questions, not village-wide conclusions. This guide adds official links.
