Additional Notes
The village's apparent official domain (mcclurevillage.org) does not currently resolve (DNS lookup failure), so no official village source could be confirmed. Alexander County's official site (alexandercounty.illinois.gov) lists only elected county offices (Assessor, Clerk, Sheriff, Treasurer, etc.) with no dedicated zoning/building/planning department. Third-party listings give a village address (38104 Grapevine Trail, McClure, IL 62957) and phone numbers, including a separate 'zoning' line, but none of this could be verified on an official government domain. Village is very small (pop. 256 at 2020 census).
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 McClure'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.
