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.

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 $20,000 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 the Building Commissioner. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Bolingbrook contractor's permit application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
