Additional Notes

No building-code enforcement department was found for Fillmore or for Montgomery County generally; search results indicate Montgomery County has no zoning ordinance covering its rural/village areas. The only county-level construction-related filing found is the 'Structural Improvement Permit,' filed with the Supervisor of Assessments purely for property tax assessment notice purposes, not code compliance. The Village of Fillmore mailing address above (PO Box 158, Fillmore, IL 62032) is sourced from the Illinois Commerce Commission's official municipal clerk directory and is offered as a hedge for local contact purposes; no evidence of an independent village building department was found. Confidence on an actual 'permit department' for construction is low for this village.

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 Fillmore'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.
