What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Blue Island Municipal Code § 150.002 sets an annual contractor registration fee, set by the City's fee schedule, and, with every permit application, requires an indemnification bond payable to the City. The code sets minimum bond amounts for specific trades — $1,000 for electrical work, $20,000 for sewer work or wrecking/demolition work — and the Building & Zoning Department sets the bond for a general contractor registration at $10,000.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Blue Island (the obligee), with any person, corporation, or entity that later contracts with you for work as the protected party. The bond indemnifies them for damages if you fail to perform the contracted work according to City requirements.
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 registration, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your filing continuous.
