About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Village of Dolton licenses contractors through its Building Department, and while most trades file a $10,000 bond, demolition contractors file $20,000 — reflecting the higher risk of damage, debris, and public-safety exposure that demolition work carries. All Dolton contractor licenses expire April 30 each year.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Dolton (the obligee), with the village and the public as the protected interest. If demolition work violates village code, damages neighboring property, or leaves a covered claim unpaid, the village or a harmed party can recover against the bond up to $20,000.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $20,000 filing continuous.

Village of Dolton Building DepartmentDolton's Building Department requires a demolition contractor to file a $20,000 surety bond, a certificate of insurance (minimum $100,000 personal injury / $50,000 property damage), and a copy of a driver's license or state-issued ID before it will license the contractor — double the $10,000 bond required of the village's other contractor trades. We could not independently verify a specific municipal-code section number for this requirement, so this page names the administering department rather than a citation.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Dolton demolition contractor bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every applicant. The $20,000 bond amount is fixed by the Village for demolition contractor licensing, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $20,000?No. You pay $100. The $20,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — 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 applicants 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.

Why is the demolition bond $20,000 when other Dolton contractors only file $10,000?Dolton's Building Department sets a higher bond for demolition contractors than for its other contractor trades, reflecting the greater risk of property damage and public-safety exposure in demolition work. If you also do non-demolition contracting, that work is licensed separately at the standard $10,000 tier.
