What matters for project planning
Window replacement is the trade this framework reaches least. Land-disturbing permitting, on-site stormwater control facilities and the countywide drainage ordinance all concern the ground and the site, none of which a window touches. The single exception is scale: on a parcel inside the mapped floodplain Naperville has adopted DuPage County's regulations for, work extensive enough relative to the structure's value can engage additional requirements. What actually determines the result is physical — whether openings are square, what the framing behind them is doing, and how the installation is flashed.

Verify the property, not just the city
Nothing citywide can tell you a particular lot's flood zone, historic status, permit needs, soil makeup, or concealed conditions. Check those specifics with the City of Naperville and your provider first.
