Additional Notes
No official Village of Bush website could be located. Williamson County's official department directory (williamsoncountyil.gov) does not list a Building & Zoning department among its offices (Animal Control, Assessments, Circuit Clerk, Commissioners, Clerk/Recorder, Economic Development, Highway, etc.). The county site does host a 'Building Permit Ordinance' and a permit application PDF, but both are unreadable scanned images and no issuing office/contact could be confirmed from them. Williamson County's main line is 618-997-1301 (407 N Monroe, Marion, IL 62959) but this is not confirmed as the correct permit contact for Bush specifically.
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 Bush'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.
