Building and Planning Division - Customer Survey

This year the Village of Kenilworth is taking a moment to review its Building and Planning Division processes to identify areas where enhanced service delivery can be provided to applicants. As part of this effort, we are interested in feedback from prior building permit and zoning relief applicants to learn more about their review process experience.

If you have the time and feedback to share, please take a moment to complete the survey linked here. It should hopefully take no more than 5-10 minutes. 

We sincerely thank you for your input as we continue to refine and improve our processes.
