About this bond

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.

Village of Bensenville — Community & Economic DevelopmentBensenville's contractor bonding requirement is administered by the Village's Community & Economic Development department (630-350-3413) rather than by a state statute — Illinois does not license general contractors at the state level, and villages like Bensenville set their own permit conditions for the trades named above. We were not able to independently verify a citable code section number for this specific filing from a fetchable primary source, so confirm your bond requirement directly with Community & Economic Development before you apply.
