Illinois Permit Rules for Shed Moves
Any shed move in Arcola that exceeds 8'6" wide or 13'6" tall on the trailer becomes an oversize load under Illinois rules. The permit comes from the IDOT Permits, and the fee is typically $25–$200 for a single-trip move.
Cook County moves often need municipal as well as state permits. Illinois is known for Chicago alley access and downstate flat farmland, which affects route planning more than in flatter states. Your hauler handles the permit, the route survey if one's needed, and any escort coordination — you don't have to call the state.
Rule of thumb for Arcola homeowners: any shed narrower than 8'6" (10x-anything, most 10x12s and 10x14s) usually moves without a permit. 12-wide sheds and bigger nearly always trigger one.
