What the county figure means here.
A borrower with full VA entitlement does not have a VA loan limit, subject to lender approval, ability to repay, and the appraised value or purchase price. The FHFA one-unit county conforming loan limit matters primarily when calculating remaining bonus entitlement for a borrower who does not have full entitlement, and it may affect whether a down payment is required.
Dupage County carries a $832,750 one-unit conforming loan limit value for 2026, and that is the county figure we reference for Naperville. County reference, not an address-based lookup. Confirm the county of the property before using this value; city and metro boundaries can cross counties. Whichever county your property is in, the value is used in remaining-entitlement calculations — including on a 2–4 unit property — and is not a cap on what a fully-entitled buyer can finance.

Estimate a payment with your own rate assumptionNaperville permits: common roof and siding swaps are exempt, but many small projects are not
The City of Naperville requires permits for new construction, additions, remodeling, decks, patios, fences and pools, and says permits may also be needed for water softeners, air conditioners, lawn sprinklers, driveways and outbuildings. Replacing asphalt shingles or vinyl, aluminum or cement-board siding on a single-family home does not need a permit if the roof sheathing stays in place. Metal, wood, slate or masonry finishes do.
Applications run through the City's Permitting, Plans and Licensing Portal, and each feature of a project, such as a pool, patio and fence, needs its own permit. Practical step: ask the seller which projects were permitted, and remember the City says owners remain responsible for code compliance even where no permit is required.
Naperville Township assessor: check your bill for the general homestead exemption
Naperville Township's assessor explains that the General Homestead Exemption reduces equalized assessed value by $8,000 for owners living in their homes on January 1 of the taxing year. In most cases it is applied automatically, so the township asks owners to check their tax bill and call if it is missing. The Senior Citizens' exemption, by contrast, requires an application with proof of age and ownership.
The township notes that the senior assessment freeze applies to assessed value, not to taxes, which can still change with local rates. Practical step: Naperville spans more than one township and county, so confirm which township assessor serves the address before relying on this office.
