Additional Notes
Raleigh (population ~284) has no discoverable dedicated building/zoning department, and no dedicated Saline County building/zoning/planning department could be located on the county's official site (salinecounty.illinois.gov) either -- its directory lists only Assessor, Clerk & Recorder, Treasurer, and County Board. The single confirmed official fact is the village's own phone number (618-926-4301), listed on the county's official contact page (salinecounty.illinois.gov/contact/). Who actually issues building permits here (village informally, or county on an ad hoc basis) could not be confirmed from an official source -- recommend a direct call to the village number above.
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 Raleigh'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.
