About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Cahokia Heights is a young city — consolidated in 2021 from the former City of Cahokia and the Villages of Alorton and Centreville — and it requires a company to file plans and a bond with the City before starting work, administered through the Code Enforcement Department. This filing fills the City's $10,000 bond requirement.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Cahokia Heights (the obligee), with the City and parties harmed by non-performance as the protected interest. If work is left incomplete or violates the City's requirements, the City or a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the City's codified ordinances aren't fully published online for the consolidated city yet, confirm any companion deposit or paperwork directly with Code Enforcement before you file.

How much is the Cahokia Heights contractor bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every applicant. The City sets the filing amount at $10,000, 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.

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.

I had a filing with the old City of Cahokia — does it carry over?Cahokia, Alorton, and Centreville consolidated into Cahokia Heights in 2021. Confirm with the City's Code Enforcement Department whether a prior filing under one of those names still satisfies the current requirement, or whether you need a fresh bond under Cahokia Heights.
