Additional Notes
Very small village (population ~476); no official municipal website could be located (the domain villageofoakgrove.com does not resolve). Rock Island County's Zoning & Building Safety Department states its authority covers only unincorporated county land and that incorporated cities/villages like Oak Grove maintain their own building departments (https://www.rockislandcountyil.gov/363/Zoning-Building-Safety), but no verifiable official contact for an Oak Grove village department was found. Third-party directories (not official sources) list a village hall at 600 Woodland Rd, Milan, IL 61264 and a phone number, but these are omitted here per sourcing rules since they could not be confirmed on an official .gov/.us domain. Flagging with a hedge per standing preference: this contact info is plausible but unverified, so treat it as a lead worth calling to confirm, not a confirmed fact.
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 Oak Grove'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.
