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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
