Additional Notes

No official village government website could be located, only third-party directories (riverbender.com, yellowpages.com, government-city.org) and a Facebook page, so no fact could be confirmed on an official domain and phone/email are left null. As an unconfirmed hedge only, directories give Village Hall phone (618) 459-3244 and an address alternately listed as '115 W Wall St' or '115 East Wall Street'. Madison County's Planning & Development Department (618-692-7040, madisoncountyil.gov) explicitly administers building permits for unincorporated areas of the county, not incorporated villages like Worden, so it is likely NOT the correct authority here — Worden being incorporated would normally issue its own permits, but no confirmed official contact for that function was found.

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 Worden'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.
