Additional Notes

No official Village of Wilsonville government website could be located (only a Facebook page, Manta business listing, and Macoupin County's SEI agency directory entry, which itself lists no contact details). Macoupin County's official permits/zoning page (macoupincountyil.gov) explicitly states that county permits/licenses apply only to unincorporated areas and that incorporated villages like Wilsonville must be contacted directly for their own requirements - so the county's Building Program Permit contact (Aaron Coe, aaron.coe@macoupincountyil.gov, 217-854-3181 ext. 5050, confirmed via the county's official site) is NOT listed here as Wilsonville's authority, since it would not apply within village limits. Third-party sources give a village phone of (217) 835-4413, but this could not be verified on an official government domain, so it is omitted rather than asserted as fact.

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 Wilsonville'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.
