Additional Notes
The village's apparent official domain (villageofmcnabb.org) is reachable only with a certificate mismatch error (its TLS cert covers only *.secureserversites.net), so its content could not be verified. Putnam County's official site (putnamil.gov) has a Zoning & Floodplain Office (120 N 4th St, Hennepin, IL 61327; phone 815-925-9270 / 815-780-7363; email rgiacometti@marshallcountyillinois.gov — apparently shared staff with Marshall County) that handles building permit applications, but the county's own pages do not state whether its jurisdiction extends to incorporated villages like McNabb (pop. ~68) or only unincorporated areas, so this could not be confirmed as the responsible department and is left out of the main fields. Third-party directories list a McNabb village hall at 230 W Walter St / PO Box 85, McNabb, IL 61335, phone 815-488-2806, unverified against an official source.
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 McNabb'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.
