Contractor Registration:  In late 2007, the Village of Whitehouse passed legislation requiring all contractors to be registered before they are issued any type of permits.  With this information, we are able to provide a list to residents or business owners who would like to hire a reputable company.  Each contractor must provide information concerning their business and they can be checked through the Better Business Bureau to see if complaints have been filed against them.  This is a great tool to assist our residents before allowing a contractor into their home.  Click here for a copy of the Contractor Registration Form, which should be submitted to Village Hall along with any permit applications before beginning a project.

Zoning Permit/Contractor Registration Payment: You can mail a check in with your completed forms or drop off in person at Village Hall. You can also pay your zoning permit or contractor registration fee online with a credit or debit card. A convenience fee will apply.
