What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor license bond actually guarantees
A contractor license bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The Village of Alsip Building Department requires any contractor working within the Village to register before pulling permits, and conditions that registration on a surety bond that backs the contractor's compliance with Village building code and permit conditions.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Alsip (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected parties. If a registered contractor's work violates the building code or harms a property owner and the Village or the owner is not made whole, a claim can reach the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Alsip sets the amount at $10,000, and the registration — and the bond backing it — is renewed every two years. Enter that figure; your premium is priced from a $100 minimum. No credit check up to $100,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Building Department. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to submit with your contractor registration application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
