What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Elmwood Park requires all contractors and subcontractors — general building, electrical, carpentry, excavation, plumbing, cement, and masonry contractors among them — to post a $10,000 indemnity bond under Village Code §29-8A before their license is granted.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Elmwood Park (the obligee). The Code conditions the bond on protecting the Village against any and all damages that may arise to the public ways, to the Village, and to any person, in consequence of the contractor's occupation and operation within the Village.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. A contractor bonded as a general building contractor need not bond separately as a subcontractor or any other kind of contractor. Elmwood Park contractors' licenses expire December 31 each year under §29-4, so keep this bond current for renewal.

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 arrives by email, ready to file with the Village Clerk for approval by the President and Board of Trustees. 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.
