Additional Notes
No dedicated building/permit department could be found for this very small village (pop. ~175). The official village site (rockbridgeil.com) lists only a Village Clerk, Treasurer, and Board President with a general phone number, no building department. Greene County's official government site (greenecountyil.org) lists no building, zoning, or planning department at all among its departments -- Illinois counties are not required to have zoning, and Greene County appears to be one without one. This is a genuine gap: permit authority for Rockbridge could not be confirmed from any official source.
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 Rockbridge'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.
