Additional Notes
Very small village (population ~67, 2020-2024 ACS). No official village website or dedicated building/permit department could be located. Saline County's official government site (salinecounty.illinois.gov) also lists no zoning or building-permit department among its offices, so no confirmed county delegation either. Mailing address above is sourced from an Illinois Commerce Commission municipal-clerk directory (icc.illinois.gov, an official Illinois state domain), which is a general clerk address, not a building-permit-specific contact - treat with that caveat. Recommend contacting the Village Hall directly, or the Saline County Clerk & Recorder (618-253-8197, 10 E. Poplar St., Harrisburg, IL 62946) as a starting point.
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 Muddy'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.
