From $100. Enter your amount.

Premiums cost 3% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the stormwater improvement bond actually guarantees
Carol Stream regulates stormwater and floodplain development under Village Code § 16-5-13, which incorporates the DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Floodplain Ordinance (DuPage County Code § 15-1-1 et seq.) and its design standards. Where a project requires detention basins, conveyance improvements, or erosion and sediment controls, the Village's Engineering Department can require security — a letter of credit or a performance bond — that backs proper construction and stabilization of those facilities.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Carol Stream (the obligee), with downstream property owners and the public as the protected parties. If stormwater facilities are left incomplete or erosion controls fail during construction, the Village can draw on the bond, and you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.
There is no single citywide amount — the Village Engineer sets the figure to match the estimated cost of the stormwater facilities and erosion controls on your approved plan. Enter that amount; we price the bond at 3% of it, $100 minimum, after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
