Additional Notes
No official Village of Percy government website could be located (population ~886-906, one of the smallest municipalities researched), and no codified Percy zoning/building ordinance appears on Municode/eCode360/AmLegal. Randolph County's Land Resource Management office states it issues building permits and zoning compliance for 'any municipality which does not carry its own zoning ordinance' -- Percy likely falls under this county jurisdiction by default, but this could not be confirmed for Percy specifically from an official source, so it is offered here only as an unconfirmed, best-guess lead rather than a verified fact: Randolph County Land Resource Management, 1 Taylor Street, Room 207, Chester, IL 62233; (618) 826-5000 ext. 130; djvalleroy@randolphcountyil.gov (Director Danny Valleroy). All primary fields are left null per the sourcing rule since no fact could be verified as applying specifically to Percy on an official domain.
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 Percy'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.
