What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Bedford Park licenses contractors through its Building Department and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond. It stands behind a contractor's promise to work to the village's building code and to complete permitted work without leaving unpaid claims or code violations behind.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Bedford Park (the obligee), with the village and the public as the protected interest. If licensed work violates village code or leaves a covered claim unpaid, the village or a harmed party can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $10,000 filing continuous.

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 $10,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Bedford Park contractor license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
