Additional Notes
No official municipal website (.gov/.us) could be located for the Village of Hillsdale, IL (pop. ~530, Rock Island County) — only a Facebook page and third-party business/people directories were found. Those (not used as a fact source) list a Village Clerk's office at 415 Main St / 415 1/2 Main St, PO Box 134, Hillsdale, IL 61257, phone (309) 658-2433 or (309) 658-2501 (sources disagree), email hillsdaleclerk@mchsi.com. Rock Island County's Zoning & Building Safety Department (rockislandcountyil.gov) explicitly states its authority covers only unincorporated county areas and that incorporated villages like Hillsdale handle their own permits, so the county office is not the correct venue. Because none of this could be confirmed on an official village domain, all contact fields are left blank; a caller should verify current Village Clerk contact info 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 Hillsdale'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.
