Additional Notes
Rock Island County's official site (rockislandcountyil.gov/363/Zoning-Building-Safety) explicitly states its Zoning & Building Safety Department 'only has authority over properties located in unincorporated Rock Island County. All Cities and Villages have their own departments to handle these issues' -- confirming Reynolds administers its own permits rather than the county doing so. However, no official village website or confirmed official contact for the Village of Reynolds itself could be located within available research; a Rock Island County directory page nominally about Reynolds actually pointed to a Sheriff's Office sub-station address, not Village Hall, so it was discarded rather than reported as fact. Recommend contacting Rock Island County (309-558-3771) to be routed to Reynolds Village Hall directly.
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 Reynolds'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.
