Additional Notes
No official village government website could be located for this very small village (2020 pop. 72). Wayne County's official site (waynecountyil.gov) lists Assessment, Clerk/Recorder, and Sheriff's offices but no dedicated building/zoning/planning department, so it is unconfirmed which office (if any) issues permits here. An unrelated 'Village of Wayne' Building & Zoning Department that turns up in generic searches is a different municipality entirely (DuPage County, near Chicago) and does not apply. A third-party directory (unconfirmed) gives only a bare 'Village Hall, Johnsonville IL 62850' address with no phone or email.
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 Johnsonville'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.
