Additional Notes
No official Village of Maunie website could be located, and White County's official site (whitecounty-il.gov) lists elected offices (Clerk, Treasurer, Sheriff, etc.) but no dedicated building, zoning, or planning department. Jurisdiction for building permits in this very small village (pop. 91 at 2020 census) could not be confirmed from any official government source. Third-party listings give a village PO Box (PO Box 9, Maunie, IL 62861) but this is unverified against an official domain. The White County Clerk's office (618-382-7211) may be able to direct inquiries to the responsible office.
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 Maunie'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.
