Many small villages defer to their county. Only Madison, St. Clair and Monroe issue separate electrical permits. Montgomery and Greene have no county building permits at all.

Bond County

Request only medium confidence

Electrical: On building permit
Issues permits: Bond County Zoning (Building & Zoning Department) - Brad Criner, Administrator · (618) 237-9737 (fee schedule also lists (618) 664-9263) · brad.criner@bondcountyil.gov · site
Public source: Report · SmartGov (Granicus) portal exists at https://co-bond-il.smartgovcommunity.com/ but exposes no public permit search; its Reports and Public Notices pages are empty · Mid-month and month-end Zoning Administrator reports to the County Board (roughly twice monthly, 2021-2025); observed content is aggregate counts (permits issued, open permits, complaints, site visits), not a list of individual permits · open
Records request: Department-level FOIA officers; county FOIA Office listed in guide as Treasurer Colleen Camp (appointed Sept 2023; backup Deputy Treasurer Leisl Gaffner); Sheriff's FOIA officer Mary Essenpreis (Feb 2026); no Zoning-specific officer named · by email · foiarequest@bondcountyil.gov · FOIA page
Notes: Bond County is the only one of the three with an adopted building code (IBC/IRC 2021, NEC 2020, IFC 2021) and a real permit program (13-14 permits/month in 2025, 281 open permits). Inspections are by a County Board-appointed Building Inspector; no third-party firm (SafeBuilt, B&F, etc.) was found. Electrical: NEC adopted and building code treats 'electrical work' as permit work exempt from the plot-plan requirement; no separate electrical permit or fee line was found, so classified on_building_permit with moderate certainty. The Granicus SmartGov portal (co-bond-il.smartgovcommunity.com) is live for applicants but has no public permit search, and its Reports/Public Notices pages are empty, so it does not qualify as a public 'Portal'; the CloudPermit help-desk link on the zoning page appears to be a leftover. Twice-monthly Zoning reports are posted but observed content is counts, not permit lists, so classification is Request only (verify by opening a recent month-end report; if it itemizes permits, reclassify as Published report). No municipal contracts found; Greenville and other municipalities not shown as served. FOIA: county-wide email foiarequest@bondcountyil.gov; the form is labeled SAMPLE so not mandatory; no Zoning-specific FOIA officer named.

Public source: nothing public
Records request: Lucas J. Fanning, Calhoun County State's Attorney (FOIA Officer) · by email · Lucas.Fanning@calhouncountyil.gov · FOIA page
Notes: County clearly issues building permits in unincorporated Calhoun County through a single part-time Building Inspector under the 1971 Zoning Ordinance. Could not confirm: whether a model building code (IRC/IBC/NEC) is adopted (no code or ordinance text found online; the search for 'Calhoun County Zoning Ordinance' returned nothing on calhouncountyil.gov); whether electrical work gets a separate permit (FAQ lists electrical work among permit-triggering projects but no electrical permit form exists); whether any of the five villages (Hardin, Brussels, Batchtown, Hamburg, Kampsville) contract with the county (nothing found either way). No third-party inspection firm found. No permit portal or published permit report found; issued-permit records are listed as a FOIA-able category under Zoning/Planning. FOIA: write to the State's Attorney by email (form optional). Confidence medium: department, FOIA, and permit issuance are confirmed from official pages; electrical handling and code adoption are unknown.

Evidence (11)

Building Inspector - Calhoun County Illinois Lists Chris Behrens, Building Inspector & Floodplain Manager (2016-present), phone 618-576-9700 Ext. 4, chris.behrens@calhouncountyil.gov, 301 S. County Rd. PO Box 225, Hardin, IL 62047, hours Wednesday 8:30-4:00 or by appointment.
Building Inspector - Duties of Department States the office 'Issues building permits for nonagricultural structures', issues certificates of occupancy, and administers four ordinances: Flood Plain Ordinance, Mobile Home Trailer Park Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance of 1971, Subdivision Ordinance. No electrical permit, adopted building code, municipality, or third-party firm is mentioned.
Building Inspector - FAQ Says permit need 'depends on the nature of the project' and that projects often requiring permits include new construction, renovations, additions, electrical work, plumbing; fees follow a schedule by size/complexity/value; setbacks and minimum acreage come from the Calhoun County Zoning Ordinance. No separate electrical permit described.
Building Inspector - Forms & Links Only two items: a FOIA Request link and a 'Building Permits' link to a Google Drive file (building-permit.pdf, a scanned image created 2022-06-15 that could not be read as text). No fee schedule, electrical permit form, code adoption, or permit list is posted.
Categories of Public Records - State's Attorney FOIA Lists 'Zoning / Planning' records including 'building permits', zoning ordinances, variances, special use permits, subdivision plats; records available online are limited to board agendas/minutes, ordinances, budget, public notices, elections -- not permits.
State's Attorney - FOIA Names Lucas J. Fanning, Calhoun County State's Attorney, as FOIA officer; 101 N. County Road, P.O. Box 501, Hardin, IL 62047; Lucas.Fanning@calhouncountyil.gov; (618) 576-9013; requests must be in writing by mail, email, fax, or personal delivery; 'Use of the form is not required'; form PDF at /wp-content/uploads/2024/06/FOIA-request-for-records-form.pdf; first 50 pages free, $0.15/page after.

County Board Committees Commissioner Deann Fester is assigned to Planning Commission and Zoning Board; Terry Woelfel to Building. Confirms county-level zoning/planning bodies exist.
County Board Agendas & Minutes Agendas and minutes are posted as Google Drive links; no building-permit report or permit list is posted on the page.
Calhoun County, IL - Permit Saige (third-party directory) Third-party listing repeating the county contact info; no online portal; says Hamburg, Batchtown, Kampsville, Brussels are 'likely permitted by Calhoun County' (unsourced inference, not treated as evidence).
Jaspector - Calhoun County IL permits (third-party) Third-party page claiming no separate electrical permit, NEC 2023/IBC 2021 adopted, fee schedule effective 7/1/2025 per board minutes; appears template-generated (URL references 'gilchrist') and is not relied on.

Electrical: Unknown
Issues permits: Clinton County Zoning Department (Jami Staser, Zoning Administrator; Kay Thole, Administrative Assistant) · (618) 594-6655 · zoning@clintonco.illinois.gov (staff: jami.staser@clintonco.illinois.gov, kay.thole@clintonco.illinois.gov) · site
Public source: nothing public
Records request: Sandra Basler, FOIA Officer for Clinton County · by email · foia@clintoncosa.illinois.gov · FOIA page
Notes: Clinton County's 'building permit' is really a zoning certificate issued under the Chapter 40 Zoning Code; no county-adopted building code (IRC/IBC/NEC) or county inspection program was found, and the county FAQ answers the commercial-building-code question by pointing to the state statute for jurisdictions without a code. No electrical permit type appears anywhere on the Zoning page, fee links, or forms, so electrical is most likely not permitted by the county, but this could not be confirmed from readable text (several county PDFs were image/compressed and would not extract). County zoning covers villages that lack their own zoning ordinance by operation of the ordinance, not by contract; FAQ names Germantown, Hoffman, Huey, Keyesport, Trenton and Carlyle as administering their own zoning. GIS viewer (clintonil.mygisonline.com, redirects to an ArcGIS Experience app) is a map viewer, not a permit portal. Could not confirm: exact electrical handling, whether any municipality contracts with the county, current fee schedule contents (Fees-5-19-26.pdf not readable).

Evidence (7)

Zoning | Clinton County, Illinois Names the Zoning Department, staff (Jami Staser, Kay Thole), phone (618) 594-6655, email zoning@clintonco.illinois.gov, address 850 Fairfax St Rm 124, Carlyle; lists Residential Building Permit, Agricultural Building Permit, Accessory Structures, solar, tower and home-occupation applications; states the 1991 Zoning Ordinance applies to unincorporated areas and to villages without their own zoning ordinance; no electrical permit type, no inspection or third-party information, no list of issued permits.
2024 Residential Permit (Clinton County Zoning Department) The county's 'building permit' is a 'Zoning Certificate of Compliance (Building Permit)' certifying the work meets the Clinton County Zoning Ordinance; lists 850 Fairfax St, (618) 594-6655, fax (618) 594-6006 and the two staff emails.
ZONING CODE 40-1-1 CHAPTER 40 ZONING CODE (updated 5.12.26) Search snippet: 'Prior to construction, a Zoning Certificate (building permit) must be obtained from the Clinton County Zoning Department'; solar systems require a Clinton County Building Permit with inspection fees paid separately by the applicant.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (Clinton County Zoning, Feb 2025) Search snippets: answers 'Are there building codes for commercial structures in Clinton County?' by quoting 20 ILCS 3105/10.09-1 (state inspection rule for commercial buildings in jurisdictions without a building code), which implies the county has not adopted its own building code; states Germantown, Hoffman, Huey, Keyesport, Trenton (and Carlyle) administer their own zoning ordinances; lists structures needing a zoning certificate. PDF body could not be extracted directly.
Building in Clinton County - Frequently Asked Questions (2019) Search snippet: references the 2008-or-later NEC (NFPA 70) and IBC as the state-mandated standards for commercial buildings in areas without a local building code and notes state law allows third-party qualified inspectors; does not describe a county electrical permit. PDF body could not be extracted directly.
January 2026 County Board Minutes Zoning Administrator Jami Staser's 2025 Zoning Report: 216 zoning permits in 2025; 64 stick-built house permits county-wide (38 by the county office, 26 by cities). Aggregate counts only; no permit-level listing.
FOIA Request | Clinton County, Illinois FOIA requests are submitted 'in writing' to Sandra Basler, FOIA Officer for Clinton County, Clinton County Courthouse, 850 Fairfax Street, Carlyle, IL 62231, (618) 594-6645; 'Send Message' button links to foia@clintoncosa.illinois.gov; no web form, portal, or mandatory form is listed.

Greene County

Local 649 · pop. 11,417

None low confidence

Electrical: Unknown
Issues permits: not found (no zoning, building, or code-enforcement department listed on the official county site) · 217-942-5443 (County Clerk & Recorder, Melissa Carter -- general county contact; not a permit office) · mcarter@greenecountyil.org (County Clerk; not a permit office) · site
Public source: nothing public
Records request: not found (no FOIA officer named anywhere on greenecountyil.org) · channel unknown · FOIA page
Note: Delegated to: No county building department found. Municipalities appear to permit within their own limits (City of Carrollton posts its own Building Permit form at carrolltonil.net). County-level approvals found are limited to a Flood Plain Ordinance (2023) and Wind and Solar Energy siting ordinances with county board public hearings.
Notes: Everything points to Greene County having no county building department, no zoning ordinance, and no county building or electrical permits in unincorporated areas: the official site lists no such office; the ordinances page shows only floodplain, wind, and solar ordinances; and no board committee covers zoning/building. However, this is evidence of absence, not an explicit statement -- no page says 'Greene County has no zoning/building codes', and the Flood Plain Ordinance (which normally designates a floodplain permit administrator) and the Solar Ordinance are scanned images that could not be read. Also not found: the FOIA officer's name/title and submission email (the FOIA form is image-only); whether the form is required; who administers floodplain development permits. Recommended verification: call the County Clerk (217-942-5443) to confirm no building permits are issued and to identify the FOIA officer; the FOIA form PDF should be downloaded and read visually. If the county does turn out to issue floodplain or solar permits only, classification would remain None for building/electrical.

Public source: nothing public
Records request: not posted by name; county directs FOIA requests to the State's Attorney's Office (State's Attorney: Ben Goetten). Separate FOIA officer for County Clerk/Elections/Recorder records: Pam Warford, County Clerk & Recorder. · by email · statesattorney@jerseycounty-il.gov · FOIA page
Note: Inspects by contract for: Village of Elsah (intergovernmental agreement posted on the Code Administrator page; terms not readable -- scanned PDF)
Notes: Jersey County has a functioning Code Administrator's Office that issues building, floodplain, stormwater, and sign permits in unincorporated Jersey County under 2018 I-codes and the 2017 NEC, with inspections performed in-house ('all required inspections are covered under the building permit'); electrical is therefore recorded as on_building_permit, though no page explicitly says 'no separate electrical permit' and the 2026 fee schedule PDF could not be read to rule out an electrical-only fee. One municipal contract found (Village of Elsah IGA) but its terms are unreadable; properties within 1.5 miles of Jerseyville, Brighton, or Elsah need a municipal zoning permit first, which is a zoning overlay rather than the county permitting for those cities. No third-party administrator found. No permit portal or published permit report found. FOIA: county-wide requests go to the State's Attorney's Office (201 W. Pearl St., statesattorney@jerseycounty-il.gov); a 2026 FOIA Request Form PDF exists but whether it is mandatory is unknown; no named FOIA officer posted (State's Attorney Ben Goetten heads the office). Caveat: the FOIA routing sentence and SA email come from search-engine snippets of jerseycounty-il.gov because the site's pages are JavaScript-rendered; the WordPress REST API shows no dedicated State's Attorney or FOIA page. Staffing is in flux (new Code Administrator hired Sept 2026; the county was also advertising a Chief Deputy Code Admin Assistant in Feb 2026).

Electrical: Not permitted by this body
Issues permits: Macoupin County GIS Manager / Plat Officer (Aaron Coe) - issues the county 'Building Program Permit' · 217-854-3181 ext. 5050 (per permits page); GIS Manager page lists 217-854-8281 ext. 5050 · aaron.coe@macoupincountyil.gov · site
Public source: nothing public
Records request: Pete Duncan, County Clerk (FOIA officer for the County Board; no FOIA officer is listed for the GIS/building permit function, which sits under the County Board). County Clerk office FOIA: Pete Duncan or Donna Fritz. · by email · pete.duncan@macoupincountyil.gov (County Clerk entry; County Board entry has no email listed) · FOIA page
Notes: Macoupin County has no county zoning in unincorporated areas and no adopted building code was found anywhere on the county site or in search. The only county 'building permit' is a $100 'Building Program Permit' handled by the GIS Manager/Plat Officer, required only in unincorporated areas and only for new construction that needs a septic system (it appears tied to septic/PTAX assessment notification, not code inspection). No electrical permits, inspections, or inspection contractor exist at the county level; electrical handling marked not_permitted because the county's complete permit/license list contains no electrical item and there is no building code, but this is inferred from absence rather than an explicit statement. No municipality contracts with the county for permitting (county has no code program to contract for). Nothing is published online; obtaining a list of Building Program Permits would require a FOIA request, most logically to the County Board FOIA officer (Pete Duncan, County Clerk) or directly to Aaron Coe. Could not confirm: contents of the scanned BuildingPermitandPTAX.pdf; whether the Jan 2026 ClearGov FOIA guide changed officer names; which FOIA officer formally covers the GIS office.

Electrical: Separate electrical permit
Issues permits: Madison County Planning & Development Department (operates as Building & Zoning Department) · (618) 296-4468 · zoning@co.madison.il.us · site
Public source: nothing public
Records request: not found for Planning & Development specifically. County posts an 'FOI Officers (PDF)' list (Jan 2023) that could not be text-extracted. Named county-wide/office-level officers seen: Keely Wathan, Project Manager and FOIA Officer, Madison County (per 2022 IL Public Access Bureau letter); Jennifer Zoelzer, Freedom of Information Officer, Office of the Madison County Auditor. · via GovQA · not found (no FOIA-specific email posted; portal is the posted channel) · FOIA page
Notes: County clearly issues building permits in unincorporated areas with county-employed inspectors (no third-party administrator found; Madison County AL CityView/Tyler hits in search are a different county). Electrical is a separate application form and a separate fee line. No contract municipalities were found on county pages (searches for intergovernmental building-inspection agreements returned nothing for Madison IL); treat as 'none found' rather than confirmed zero. No searchable permit portal or current permit report exists online; the only activity reports are from 2018. Could not confirm: the Planning & Development FOIA officer's name (FOI Officers PDF is image/compressed and not extractable), any FOIA email address, and whether the 2018 activity reports contain permit lists. Older FAQ pages still cite the 2012 IBC, conflicting with newer pages citing 2024 IBC. Note the GovQA 'Public Records Archive' may already contain prior permit-list responses worth checking before filing.

Records request: Sausha Alderman, Monroe County FOIA Officer (per current county FOIA page). An older county contact page (?p=4355) names Tim Stubblefield, ext. 293. · by email · not found (address is obfuscated on the county page; only visible via the live site) · FOIA page
Note: Third-party administrator: None found as administrator. County code (Ch. 6) provides that the county Electrical Inspector is 'under contract by the Chairman of the County Board' (a contracted individual inspector, not a firm).
Notes: monroecountyil.gov returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches, so every county-site fact above comes from search-result snippets of those exact URLs rather than full page reads; verify by opening the pages in a browser. County issues building and electrical permits (separate electrical application, separate electrical fee line, separate contracted Electrical Inspector) for unincorporated areas under a 2006-era I-code adoption. Cloudpermit is the application system; it was not confirmed whether Cloudpermit exposes a public permit search for Monroe County — if it does, reclassify as Portal. Monthly permit counts are read into county board minutes but are counts/fees, not permit lists, so this does not meet the 'Published report' bar. Waterloo, Columbia, and Hecker run their own building/zoning offices; no municipality was found contracting with the county. FOIA: two officer names appear on different county pages (Alderman, ext. 232 vs. Stubblefield, ext. 293); the email address could not be read.

Records request: Montgomery County FOIA Officer (name not posted), located in the State's Attorney's office (State's Attorney Brian Shaw) · by mail · not found (State's Attorney general office email: saoffice@montgomerycountyil.gov) · FOIA page
Note: Delegated to: Municipalities issue their own permits inside city limits (e.g., City of Hillsboro, 447 S. Main St., (217) 532-5566, has its own building permit application); unincorporated areas have no building or zoning permits at all
Notes: Montgomery County has no county zoning ordinance in rural areas (per its own County Coordinator page), no building code or zoning ordinance in its posted ordinance list, and no building/zoning department in its directory. The only county 'permits' are County Board siting permits for commercial wind (WECS Construction/Operating Permit) and solar (Development Permit) under the 2025 ordinances, administered through the County Board/County Coordinator. Therefore no building or electrical permits are issued for unincorporated areas; cities (Hillsboro, Litchfield, Nokomis, etc.) permit within their own limits. Third-party directories claiming the Supervisor of Assessments issues permits appear to conflate assessment notification with permitting and were not relied on; an older county FAQ (montgomeryco.com, domain now dead) reportedly routed 'building permits in unincorporated areas' questions to the Supervisor of Assessments (217-532-9595), which is worth a phone check. FOIA: requests go to the unnamed County FOIA Officer in the State's Attorney's office by mail/phone; no FOIA email, web form, portal or required form was found. Could not confirm: FOIA officer name/email, whether a FOIA form exists, and whether any municipality uses county staff for anything permit-related (none found).

Montgomery County, Illinois (home page) Department directory lists no zoning, building, planning or permit office; FOIA link points to the County Clerk's Public Filings page; Freedom of Information Officer phone 217-532-9551.
Ordinances – Montgomery County, Illinois Only six ordinances posted: Animal Control, Responsible Bidder, Fireworks, Subdivision, Solar (3-10-2025), Wind (3-10-2025). No building code or zoning ordinance.
SolarOrdinance3 10 2025 (Montgomery County solar siting ordinance) Search snippets: applies to solar farms/gardens in unincorporated Montgomery County; construction requires a Solar Farm or Solar Garden Development Permit approved by the County Board - a siting approval, not a building/electrical permit program.
Virden Wind application (Montgomery County WECS application, March 2024) Search snippet: applicant states that per the WECS Ordinance and discussions with county representatives 'a WECS Construction Permit and an Operating Permit are the only county permits required' - consistent with no general county building permit.
Montgomery County, IL permits (Jaspector third-party directory) Claims the county issues permits only for unincorporated areas via the Supervisor of Assessments (Room 201, 217-532-9595); this is an unofficial aggregator contradicted by the county's own 'no zoning' statement and is treated as unreliable.
Forms & Applications (City of Hillsboro, IL) City of Hillsboro posts its own Application for Building Permit and Certificate of Zoning Compliance, zoning map and demolition application; city hall 447 S. Main St., (217) 532-5566 - municipalities permit inside their own limits.

Public source: nothing public
Records request: Not formally named.

Notes: Randolph County does issue building permits countywide outside municipalities with their own zoning codes, through the Land Resource Management office, as a single combined 'Initial Certificate of Zoning Compliance & Building Permit' priced on construction value. However, no building code (IBC/IRC) or electrical code (NEC) adoption was found in the 2016/2020 county code; Chapter 6 'Buildings' is a permit-and-fee ordinance, not a technical code, so this is a zoning/valuation permit rather than a code-inspection permit. No separate electrical permit exists; electrical marked unknown because the code mentions 'mechanical permits' fees (Sec. 40-5-40) and the application asks whether a shed 'has electric', but no electrical permit form, code, or inspection was found. The county serves municipalities without their own zoning ordinance but names none (likely candidates would need confirmation by phone). No third-party administrator found. No online publication of issued permits; a FOIA request to foia79@randolphcountyil.gov (County Administrator's office, Room 206) is the route. Could not confirm: the current 2024 Zoning Ordinance PDF (linked on the LRM page but URL not exposed), the names of municipalities relying on county zoning, whether any electrical/mechanical permit is actually issued, and the exact FOIA officer name (Carol Best vs. Ashley Pickering; two different extensions, 141 and 131).

Application for Initial Certificate of Zoning Compliance & Building Permit (Randolph County LRM) Single combined zoning/building application; $35 zoning fee plus building fee of $1.00 per $1,000 of structure value ($5 minimum), $25 late fee; office at 1 Taylor, Room 207, (618) 826-5000 Ext. 228; the only electrical reference is a checkbox 'Does it have electric?' for sheds/pole barns/garages; septic approval via Randolph County Health Department; no electrical permit, code, or inspection described.
Randolph County Revised Code of Ordinances (adopted Ord. 16-04, May 6, 2016; Supplemented Aug. 1, 2020) Chapter 6 'Buildings' Art. II requires a county building permit before any structure is erected/altered (Sec. 6-2-1, fee $5 min + $1 per $1,000 over $5,000); Chapter 40 Zoning Code Sec. 40-1-2: 'This Code shall be applicable throughout Randolph County, except within the corporate limits of municipalities which have adopted local zoning codes' (no municipalities named); Sec. 40-5-60: 'No structure shall be erected until a Randolph County building permit is issued per Section 6-2-1'; Sec. 40-5-40 refers to fees for 'building permits and mechanical permits'; no IBC/IRC/NEC or electrical code adoption found; only WECS/solar electrical components must 'conform to applicable state and national codes'.

Electrical is a separately listed permit type with its own form. No third-party administrator found (searches for SafeBuilt/B&F/third-party returned nothing for this county); inspections appear to be county staff. No online permit portal, permit search, or periodic permit report was found; applications are paper PDFs paid by cash/check to the County Treasurer. FOIA goes through a JustFOIA portal; a Zoning-specific FOIA form PDF exists but could not be read, so the Building & Zoning FOIA officer and whether that form is required remain unconfirmed. The Building Permit Information Sheet PDF and Chapter 7 Building Regulations PDF were not text-extractable, so the exact adopted code editions are unconfirmed (page references 'Building Regulations Chapter 7 Section 7-1-47').

Notes: Washington County issues a countywide 'building permit' that is in substance a $100 Certificate of Zoning Compliance under its 2023 zoning ordinance, administered by a one-person Zoning Office; applications can be submitted online via an iWorQ citizen portal, but the portal has no public search of issued permits (only logged-in 'My Projects'), so it does not qualify as a records portal. No adopted building code (IBC/IRC) or electrical code (NEC) was found, and no electrical permit of any kind appears on the site, forms, or portal; electrical left 'unknown' because the readable portion of the zoning ordinance was limited to Articles 7-13 through 7-15 and fee schedule, and the early jurisdiction/administration articles could not be read. The form asks whether construction is inside municipal corporate limits, which implies municipalities handle their own; none are named as contracting with the county. No third-party permitting firm found (Heyl Royster is legal counsel for ZBA hearings only). FOIA: the Blue Book names Paul Todd (County Board, Dist. 3) and Dan Bronke as FOIA officers and the Highway posting gives Paul.Todd@washingtonco.illinois.gov; the generic FOIA form on the Contact page routes to Matthew Kasten (VAC Director), which appears to be the Veterans Assistance Commission's form reused. Recommended request: email Paul Todd with a copy to the Zoning Office (krystal.althoff@washingtonco.illinois.gov).

Public source: Report · Annual Building & Development Report; archive runs 2009-2020, most recent posted is 2020 (stale). Reports appear to give aggregate permit counts and construction values, not a per-permit list (2020 PDF is a scan and could not be read). · open
Records request: Shelly Schaefer, City Clerk (designated Chief FOIA Officer); alternate Niccy Cook, Assistant City Clerk, 618-233-6518 ext. 1210 · via MyCustHelp (bellevilleil.mycusthelp.com; this domain is the GovQA/Granicus public-records product, inferred from the domain, vendor not named on the city page) · sschaefer@belleville.net · FOIA page
Note: Electrical contractors must register with this jurisdiction
Notes: Belleville issues its own building and electrical permits in-house (not on the St. Clair County contract-inspection list). Electrical permits are a separate application and the city licenses electrical contractors (annual license, exam). No online permit portal and no per-permit list is posted; the only publication is an annual aggregate report last posted for 2020, so issued-permit data will have to be requested via the MyCustHelp FOIA portal. Could not confirm: names of deputy FOIA officers, whether the annual report ever listed individual permits, current contractor registration requirements beyond the fee lines.

Issues permits: Community Development Department, Building & Inspections Division · not found (city pages do not name the director or Building Code Official) · 618-624-4500 ext. 4 · communitydevelopment@ofallon.org · site
Public source: Report · Monthly Community Development Reports posted Jan 2022-Sep 2023 (Archive AMID=36); 'Building Permit Reports - 2021 & Older' by year (Archive AMID=37) described as detailed reports of all residential and commercial development; monthly reports continue to be presented to the Community Development Committee in 2026 (news coverage) but the web archive stops at Sep 2023. Online permit portal (permits.ofallon.org) requires login; no public search found. · open
Records request: not found (page refers only to 'Freedom of Information Officer'; City Clerk's office handles requests) · via NextRequest (https://cityofofallonil.nextrequest.com/) · FOIA page
Notes: O'Fallon issues its own permits (not on the county contract list). Electrical permits are a separate permit type applied for through the city's permit portal. Classified Published report because the city posts monthly Community Development reports and year-by-year Building Permit Reports, but the archive has not been updated since Sep 2023 and the PDFs could not be text-extracted, so whether they list permits individually (vs. counts/values) is unconfirmed; a FOIA via NextRequest is the reliable path. Could not confirm: director/building official names, electrical contractor registration, permit-portal vendor (footer only shows Timmons Group), whether the portal exposes any public search.

Verified Published report NOT current. Archive AMID=36 (Community Development Reports) ends September 2023; AMID=37 (Building Permit Reports) returned no entries. Reports are still produced for committee but not posted online. Treat as Request only unless the city resumes posting.

Notes: Cahokia Heights (merged 2021 from Cahokia, Centreville, Alorton) issues building permits itself through Code Enforcement; it is not on the St. Clair County contract-inspection list.

Classified Portal because the MyGov public portal exposes an Address Lookup for 'all activity at a location'. Confirmed: the lookup shows permits per address without a login. Could not confirm: FOIA officer identity, electrical contractor registration details, MyGov public visibility of issued permits.

Verified Confirmed portal, limited. MyGov Address Lookup works without login and shows PERMITS per address: permit type (e.g. "Electrical Permit (C)"), project number, date, status, description. No contractor shown. No date or type search; address-by-address only, so bulk collection is impractical. Keep as Portal for spot checks; use records request for the monthly list.

Records request: Tamara Kujawa (Deputy City Clerk) and Sarah Craig (Collector / Budget Officer) at City Hall; Sherri Voelker at Waterloo PD · by mail · FOIA@waterloo.il.us · FOIA page
Notes: The city issues its own permits; electrical work is inspected as part of the building permit (no separate electrical permit form found). Could not confirm electrical contractor registration (code library blocked). Council packets include a Building Inspector/Code Administrator report each meeting; if that report lists individual permits this would move to 'Published report' -- open a recent packet PDF to check.

Verified Unverified. Council packet CC-11-02-26-Packet-1.pdf fetched (39 pages). Minutes say "Report of Building Inspector / Code Administrator. The report is in the packet," but no page text matched "permit" other than the minutes; the report is likely an image scan. The packet PDF needs a manual look.
