What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Belleville's general licensing ordinance conditions a contractor license — including plumbing contractors — on a $10,000 surety bond filed with the City's business licensing office before the license issues. This is separate from any state-level plumbing bond the Illinois Department of Public Health may require of a licensed plumber; the two run alongside each other.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Belleville (the obligee), with the City and the plumbing contractor's customers as the protected parties. If a licensed plumbing contractor violates the City's licensing ordinance or leaves a covered claim unresolved, the City can draw against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The license and bond typically run on an annual cycle, so we track your renewal date 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
