Additional Notes
Confirmed as the ILLINOIS village (Logan County, pop. ~604-642, not San Jose, CA). Official village site sanjoseil.com confirms the village issues fence, building, and recreational-vehicle permits, and provides a downloadable Building Permit Application PDF; per the Village Code (9-1-4, hosted on amlegal.com/codelibrary referencing sanjoseil.com), permit applications are made to the Village Clerk. A street address for the Village Hall was not confirmed on the official site, so certHolderLine2 uses the general clerk's office designation rather than a specific unconfirmed street address.
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 San Jose'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.
