How this page fits into land search decisions

Call script
Hi, I have a property in Coles County and I am trying to confirm requirements before I do anything.
1) Does this parcel fall inside or outside any municipal jurisdiction?
2) Does the county require zoning review or a building permit for [brief description]?
3) Which page or document should I read to confirm that?
4) If the county does not handle it, which office or municipality does?
Notes
According to the county zoning page, parcels outside municipal jurisdictions are not subject to county zoning and do not require building permits through the county. Always confirm the exact parcel location and whether a municipality or other authority applies before making decisions.
The GIS parcel viewer and property search tools can help you identify parcel details and confirm where to begin.
