Additional Notes
UNCONFIRMED - no official village website found (only a Facebook page and third-party directory listings). Directories conflict on the village hall address (405 Route 37 vs. PO Box 32 vs. PO Box 111, all Edgewood IL 62426) and no phone number could be confirmed, so phone is left blank. Effingham County itself has no county zoning ordinance/building-permit program (an official Effingham County document is explicitly titled 'No Zoning'), so there is no clear county-level fallback either. Given the village's small size (2020 pop. 398), a formal building-permit process may not exist; contact the village clerk directly to confirm.
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 Edgewood'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.
