Additional Notes
No official Village of Chesterfield website could be located (a Macoupin County 'SEI' shared-services directory page exists at sei.macoupincountyil.gov/agency/village-of-chesterfield/ but contains no contact details). Macoupin County's own official site (macoupincountyil.gov) explicitly states its building permit program applies 'only in unincorporated Macoupin County,' i.e. it does NOT cover incorporated villages like Chesterfield, so the county is not the fallback authority here as it is in some other counties. Unconfirmed/non-official third-party sources (a citydirectory.us listing and an Illinois Commerce Commission municipal-clerks filing) suggest a Village Hall at 115 W. Depot Street, Chesterfield, IL 62630, phone possibly 618-753-3558, and a village-clerk email (a personal Gmail address) — these are flagged here only as unverified leads per the user's standing preference to disclose rather than omit uncertain data, and are NOT used to populate the fact fields above because they do not come from an official .gov/.us or village-of-x domain. This is a very small village (2020 pop. under 100); it is not confirmed to be dissolved, but its online government presence could not be established.
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 Chesterfield'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.
