Additional Notes

Confirmed on villageofholidayhills.com. Small village (pop. under 1,000); permit questions go through the Village Clerk, with a Building Inspector who keeps limited hours (Wednesday 1:00-6:00pm, inspections by appointment). The Village will not issue a building permit until McHenry County Stormwater Management Bureau (815-334-4560) has issued its own stormwater permit or a letter stating none is required — so that county office is a required co-approver, not a delegate of building-permit authority itself.

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 Holiday Hills'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.
