Local safety, repair, and permit contacts
Follow fire or building officials’ directions for the actual property. Do not enter if they have restricted access or the structure may be unsafe. Before repairs or rebuilding, ask the office responsible for the address and work scope whether permits or inspections apply.
For property-standard or notice questions within City of Aurora jurisdiction, see the City’s Residential Property Standards page ↗ and FAQ ↗. Ask the City which office handles a permit or inspection for the specific address and work. If the property is outside City jurisdiction, contact the municipality or township responsible for it.
Aurora’s city-place boundary intersects Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will Counties. City, county, township, and State offices are separate routes; confirm the parcel’s actual county and local jurisdiction from its address and parcel records before choosing an office.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written repair estimates, likely value after rebuilding, expected time and carrying costs, your insurer’s claim information, mortgage requirements, and written sale terms side by side. Use numbers for this property; the calculator estimates sale proceeds, not a rebuild budget or an insurance payment.
The Aurora calculator compares estimated listing proceeds with what you may keep after costs. Change the planning assumptions to see how they affect the estimate.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
