About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the contractor license bond covers

Crest Hill's Building Department reviews plans, issues building permits, and registers contractors before it will let them pull permits in the city. A bond can be part of that registration, standing behind the contractor's compliance with the work permitted and the City's building code.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Crest Hill (the obligee), with the City and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a registered contractor fails to perform to code or leaves a covered obligation unpaid, the City or a harmed party can look to the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Crest Hill separately requires an excavation bond for work performed in the city right-of-way; if your job also disturbs the public way, confirm with the Building Department whether that additional filing applies.

City of Crest Hill Building DepartmentThe Building Department administers contractor registration and permitting for the City of Crest Hill. A specific municipal code section number for the contractor-license bond amount was not independently verifiable at publication; confirm your required bond amount and trade class directly with the Building Department before filing.
