What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Dolton licenses contractors through its Building Department and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond, executed and filed with the Village Clerk with sureties approved by the Village President under Village Code §117.006(A).
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Dolton (the obligee), engaging in the business of contractor for erection, construction, repair, or alteration of buildings or structures within the Village. If licensed work causes harm the Village or a protected party can recover against, they can claim on the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dolton contractor licenses expire April 30 each year, so keep this bond current for renewal; a landscaper/lawn-care contractor bonds at a reduced $5,000 under the same code section.

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 $10,000 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
File with the Village Clerk. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Village Clerk alongside your contractor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
