Additional Notes
No official Village of Parkersburg website could be found (2020 pop. 186). Third-party listings (Yellow Pages, Yahoo Local) cite a 'Parkersburg Town Hall' at 103 E. Parker Street, Parkersburg, IL 62452, phone (618) 442-5023, but this is unverified on any official government domain. Richland County's official site (richlandcounty.illinois.gov) references county zoning/land-development regulations (via county code) but no dedicated, clearly-contactable building/zoning department page or staff contact could be located there -- only the general Richland County Courthouse numbers (618-392-3111 / 618-617-1127) were found. Because neither a village nor a specifically identifiable county building department could be confirmed on an official source, all department fields are left blank; the general Richland County Courthouse (103 West Main Street, Olney, IL 62450) is the best starting point for inquiries.
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 Parkersburg'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.
