Additional Notes
No official Village of La Rose website was found (pop. ~90, per Wikipedia). Illinois county zoning departments typically have jurisdiction only in unincorporated areas, so it is not independently confirmed that Marshall County Zoning issues permits inside La Rose's corporate limits versus the village handling this informally itself. Marshall County Zoning (confirmed via the county's own official domain) is recorded here as the most likely/available official point of contact per common practice for tiny downstate villages with no municipal building department -- this delegation is a reasonable inference, not a confirmed fact, and is flagged as such.
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 La Rose'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.
