Additional Notes
No official Village of Kampsville website was located; a third-party directory (unconfirmed) lists a village mailing address of PO Box 202, Kampsville, IL 62053, with no phone or email. Calhoun County's official site (calhouncountyil.gov) confirms a Building Inspector department with an online forms page, based at the county seat in Hardin, but no direct phone/email for that specific office was visible on the fetched page, and the page did not explicitly state whether its jurisdiction extends inside incorporated villages like Kampsville versus only unincorporated county land. Recommend confirming jurisdiction and a direct phone/email by calling the County Clerk's office via calhouncountyil.gov.
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 Kampsville'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.
