About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Code § 10-19 of the Bolingbrook Code of Ordinances bars the Building Commissioner from issuing a contractor's permit until the applicant files a surety bond equal to 10% of the total cost of material and labor required to perform the work — but never less than $20,000. The bond must run continuously for the length of any warranty period, and never less than one year.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Bolingbrook (the obligee), with the village and the public as the protected interest. If your work violates village ordinance or the building code, the village or a harmed party can recover against the bond up to its penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the standard $20,000-minimum filing that covers most registrations; tell us if your specific project's 10% figure runs higher and we'll issue that amount instead.

Bolingbrook Code of Ordinances § 10-19Code § 10-19 ("General Contractor") requires a bond issued by an authorized surety company in the principal amount of 10% of the total cost of all material and labor necessary to perform the work, but not less than $20,000, before the Building Commissioner will grant a contractor's permit. The bond must run continuous for the duration of any warranty period, but not less than one year, conditioned on the contractor's compliance with village ordinances, the building code, and other applicable regulations.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Bolingbrook contractor license bond?The premium is $100 flat for the standard $20,000-minimum filing — set by our carrier's rate book. Code § 10-19 sets the bond amount at 10% of your job's material and labor cost or $20,000, whichever is greater, so there is no quote process for the minimum tier.

Do I pay the $20,000?No. You pay $100. The $20,000 (or higher, if your project's 10% figure exceeds it) is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

How fast will I have the bond?Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many applicants finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so most applicants approve instantly. If a check ever runs on this bond, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.

What if 10% of my job cost is more than $20,000?Code § 10-19 sets your bond at whichever is greater — $20,000 or 10% of your material-and-labor cost. Tell us your project's figure when you apply and we'll issue the larger amount; the $100 flat premium quoted here applies to the $20,000 minimum filing.
