About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Chapter 19 of the Deerfield Village Code ("Streets and Sidewalks") governs work that touches public pavement, sidewalks, streets, or the right-of-way, and the village conditions a permit for that work on a $5,000 surety bond. It stands behind a contractor's promise to restore public infrastructure to code and to avoid damage that the village would otherwise have to repair at its own cost.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Deerfield (the obligee), with the village and the traveling public as the protected interest. If permitted work damages public infrastructure or violates the permit's conditions, the village can recover against the bond up to $5,000.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We could not independently verify the specific subsection of Chapter 19 that fixes this dollar figure, so we cite the chapter rather than a section number; confirm your exact permit conditions with Public Works before you apply.

Deerfield Village Code, Ch. 19 (Streets and Sidewalks)Chapter 19 of the Deerfield Village Code ("Streets and Sidewalks") governs permits for work affecting public pavement, sidewalks, streets, and the right-of-way, and the Village requires a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of that permit. Confirm the specific permit type and any additional Public Works conditions before you apply — some excavation and parkway work carries its own related bond requirement.
