Additional Notes

The Village's own site lists Frank Johnson as Code Enforcement/Building Inspector handling permits directly (not delegated to Kankakee County); Village Hall is open Mon/Wed/Fri 9am-1pm. Minor address discrepancy noted: the Village's own site gives '7267 E. Chicago St.' while the Illinois Commerce Commission's official municipal clerk listing gives the same street number as '7267 W. Chicago St.' with a Saint Anne, IL 60964 mailing designation - likely a directional typo in one of the two sources; the street number and ZIP are consistent across both. Kankakee County separately operates an online SmartGov building-permit portal (co-kankakee-il.smartgovcommunity.com), but no evidence was found that Sun River Terrace uses it rather than its own building inspector.

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 Sun River Terrace'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.
