What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Bensenville is a DuPage County village that will not release a permit to certain contractor classes — electrical, excavation, roofing, plumbing, sewer, and fire suppression are the trades the Village names — without license and insurance on file, and this $10,000 surety bond is part of that filing, administered by the Community & Economic Development department.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Bensenville (the obligee), with property owners and the Village as the protected parties. If a bonded contractor's work causes damage or leaves a covered obligation unpaid, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay on file for the life of your permit eligibility, so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration to keep your 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.
