Additional Notes
No official village website was found (only a Facebook page). Third-party directory results named a 'lomaxclerk@gmail.com' contact and a Henderson County EDC page (not a government domain) described a Henderson County Zoning office covering unincorporated areas and the Village of Gulfport specifically -- neither source is an official government domain, so per sourcing rules these are not used as facts here and permit-department fields are left blank. This is a gap that would need a direct call to the Henderson County Courthouse (Oquawka, the county seat) or Village Hall to resolve. Village mailing address is from the Illinois Commerce Commission's official municipal clerk directory.
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 Lomax'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.
