About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Village of Brookfield requires every contractor and subcontractor doing work in the Village to obtain a Village of Brookfield contractor license, and licensing is conditioned on filing a signed original License and Permit Bond in the sum of $10,000 with the Community Development Department, alongside a Certificate of Insurance naming the Village as certificate holder.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Brookfield (the obligee), with property owners and the Village as the protected parties. If a licensed 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 Village's license fee (typically $150) is separate from the bond premium, and specific trades carry additional state or approved-municipality licensing: roofers need a State of Illinois Roofing License, plumbers need a State of Illinois or City of Chicago Plumbing License, and electrical contractors need a license from a testing municipality the Village approves.

Village of Brookfield — Community Development DepartmentBrookfield's contractor bonding requirement is administered by the Village's Community Development Department (Building and Permitting; permits@brookfieldil.gov) rather than by a state statute — Illinois does not license general contractors at the state level, and villages like Brookfield set their own registration conditions. 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 Development before you apply.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Brookfield contractor license bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The $10,000 bond amount is set by the Village, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 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 contractors 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.
Do I still need a trade license too?Yes for some trades — roofers need a State of Illinois Roofing License, plumbers need a State of Illinois or City of Chicago Plumbing License, and electrical contractors need a license from a Village-approved testing municipality, in addition to this bond and the Village license.
