Village Requirements for Residential Occupancies
For a list of Village requirements for residential occupancies, please visit our Requirements page.
Block Party
Residents wishing to have a block party must apply for a special permit in the Building Department at the Village Hall. The permit is free but must be submitted to the Village Trustees for approval since traffic must be rerouted to accommodate your party. The Village will provide barricades on both ends of the block. Any questions call 343-4000, extension 128.
Burning Leaves & Trash
It is against Village of Melrose Park ordinances to burn any yard waste or trash anywhere in Melrose Park. You will be ticketed and fined if detected burning waste.
Cooling & Warming Centers
The Village of Melrose Park offers its residents warming or cooling centers. These centers may involve overnight stays depending on the extremity of the weather. Call 343-4000 or 345-4350 on days of extreme hot or cold weather to learn of the location of the nearest warming or cooling center.
Garage Sales
Residents may conduct garage sales on two consecutive weekends once a year and only after they have obtained a permit. A garage sale permit must be displayed on the days of the garage sale. Permits are free of charge and may be picked up at the Building Department Office in the Village Hall on 25th Avenue. It is against village ordinance to have a garage sale on Sunday. Garage sale hours are 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. No garage sale signs are permitted on public property or on public right of ways.
