Additional Notes
Bone Gap is confirmed (via Wikipedia, corroborating a documented 1892 incorporation vote) to be an incorporated village, not dissolved or unincorporated, but no official village website could be located. No dedicated Edwards County zoning/building department website could be located either (only the general Edwards County Courthouse/Clerk contact in Albion, IL, (618) 445-2115, was found, with no zoning or building function specifically attributed to it in official sources). Because no official source establishes who issues permits for this small village, all fields are left blank.
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 Bone Gap'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.
