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.

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 Building & Zoning. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Blue Island contractor registration 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.
