Additional Notes

Roxana has its own building code and permit ordinance (Village Code Title 9, Ch. 3), and a building-permit application PDF is published on the official roxana-il.org site, but no distinctly named Building or Zoning Department page/contact (phone or email) is published separately from the general Village Hall contact (Jason Woody, Village Administrator; Kristi Carter, Village Clerk). A recent posting on the same site referenced a part-time Building and Zoning opening, suggesting the role may be in transition. Madison County's own building-permit office (madisoncountyil.gov) explicitly covers unincorporated areas only, not incorporated villages like Roxana, so there is no county fallback.

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 Roxana'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.
