Additional Notes
The village's own site, villagemtauburn.net (referenced by Wikipedia as the official site and by the village's own amlegal code library page 'Codes and Ordinances - Village of Mt. Auburn'), could not be fetched during this research -- it returns a TLS certificate mismatch pointing to a third-party site builder (vivitiapp.com), so current content/status is unverified (may be down, migrated, or misconfigured). The mailing address (PO Box 224, Mount Auburn, IL 62547-0224) and phone (217) 676-2006 are repeated across third-party directories (citydirectory.us, local.yahoo.com) but were not confirmed on an official domain during this pass, so phone/email are left blank as a hedge; the PO Box is included as a plausible certificate-holder mailing address given it is the standard village clerk PO Box cited consistently, but should be independently reconfirmed. Village almost certainly handles any permitting via its Village Board/Clerk with no dedicated building department, typical for a village this size.
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 Mount Auburn'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.
