Additional Notes
No independent official Village of Chandlerville website could be found (only Wikipedia/Ballotpedia/third-party listings). Cass County's own Zoning Department page (co.cass.il.us/departments/zoning) states it covers 'the unincorporated areas of the county as well as villages that do not have a zoning ordinance' — it is unconfirmed whether Chandlerville maintains its own zoning ordinance, so county jurisdiction here is a probable-but-unverified inference, not a confirmed fact. County contact (Dave Mayes, Zoning Enforcement Officer): (217) 370-0111, davecchd@gmail.com — note this is a personal-looking gmail address as published on the official county page. Several web-search summaries also claimed a 'Chandlerville City Hall Planning and Zoning Department,' but this text pattern repeated near-identically across multiple unrelated small villages in this batch and appears to be generic/templated filler from a low-quality aggregator rather than a verified fact, so it was NOT used as a source.
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 Chandlerville'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.
