Additional Notes

Explicitly confirmed (via search-indexed content from the official kendallcountyil.gov domain; direct WebFetch of the department page returned HTTP 403 during this research) that the County's Planning, Building & Zoning Department's Building Division issues building permits for all new construction not only in unincorporated Kendall County but also in the incorporated Villages of Millbrook AND Plattville specifically — i.e., Plattville has no building department of its own and delegates entirely to the County. This is a textbook example of the small-village-delegates-to-county pattern.

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 Plattville'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.
