Additional Notes
No official website for the Village of Jeffersonville (locally known as 'Geff') was found. Wayne County's own official government site (waynecountyil.gov) does not list a dedicated building, zoning, or planning department (only Supervisor of Assessments and County Clerk were found), suggesting Wayne County may not administer a countywide building/zoning code -- meaning permitting practice for this village is unconfirmed either way. Unconfirmed third-party directories list a village address of 220 W Mechanic St, Geff, IL 62842 and phone (618) 897-2223 -- included only as a hedge, not verified on any official domain.
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 Jeffersonville'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.
