Additional Notes
No official Village of Menominee website was found. Jo Daviess County's zoning ordinance (as codified) applies only to unincorporated areas of the county, so incorporated Menominee (pop. ~211) most likely self-administers permits via its own Village Hall, but this could not be confirmed on an official source. An unconfirmed state municipal-clerk filing (Illinois Commerce Commission) lists a village hall address of 16000 Pleasant View Drive, East Dubuque, IL 61025 -- hedged here rather than used, since it is not the village's own domain or the relevant county's. Recommend contacting Jo Daviess County Planning & Development (815-591-3810, plan@jodaviesscountyil.gov, confirmed official) for a referral if the village cannot be reached directly.
What You Need Before Applying for a Permit
Most building departments ask for the same core package before they'll issue a permit: a completed application naming the property owner and contractor, the contractor's state license number and proof of insurance (general liability, and workers' comp if employees are on the job), a notice of commencement or equivalent recorded filing for larger jobs where the state requires one, and scaled plans or a site plan for anything beyond minor repairs. Roofing, fence, pool, and solar permits typically have their own simplified checklists — Village of Menominee's department (above) can confirm exactly what applies to your project.
Why this matters for insurance: permit history is one of the first things an underwriter or adjuster checks. Unpermitted work — a finished basement, an added bedroom, a rebuilt roof — can complicate a claim or even void coverage for that portion of the loss, and it routinely surfaces during a home inspection. Pulling the right permit up front, and keeping the closed-permit record on file, protects both the property's value and its insurability at resale.
