About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Country Club Hills licenses building contractors under Chapter 13, Article 14 of its Code of Ordinances. Section 13.14.04, "Bond Required," conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond that runs to the City and is conditioned to keep and save the City harmless from damage to pavements, sidewalks, or other public property resulting from the contractor's use of City streets, and from claims arising from obstructions or materials the contractor leaves on public ways.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Country Club Hills (the obligee), with the City and the public as the protected parties. The City's Building Commissioner administers the license and inspects contractor activity under Article 14.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the license period, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your filing continuous.

Country Club Hills Code § 13.14.04Country Club Hills Code of Ordinances § 13.14.04 (Title 13, Article 14 — Contractors) requires: "All contractors shall give bond to the City in the penal sum of $10,000, conditioned to keep and save harmless the City from any and all damage that may result to pavements, sidewalks or other public property of the City resulting from the use of its streets in connection with such business, and, further, to save and hold harmless the City from damages to persons or property arising from suits or claims resulting from obstructions or materials deposited or dropped upon the streets or other public places in the City by such contractor."

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Country Club Hills contractor bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every contractor. The $10,000 bond amount is fixed by Code § 13.14.04, 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 the City makes a valid claim against the bond for damage to public property — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?License 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.
What does § 13.14.04 actually cover?It protects the City against damage to pavements, sidewalks, and other public property caused by a contractor's use of the streets, plus claims from obstructions or materials the contractor leaves on public ways — it does not cover disputes between you and a private customer.
