The Village of Evergreen Park requires a sewer or drain-laying contractor to file a $20,000 surety bond before it will issue a license to pull sewer and water-utility permits — ours is $100 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application includes a soft credit-pull authorization, and it will not affect your score.
















Village trade-license bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no lengthy underwriting file.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Evergreen Park sewer/drain contractor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Evergreen Park licenses sewer and drain-laying contractors separately from its general and electrical contractor categories, and conditions that license on a $20,000 surety bond — the highest of the Village's contractor tiers. The bond stands behind the contractor's compliance with the Village's sewer and water-utility permit requirements.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Evergreen Park (the obligee), with the Village and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a sewer contractor's work causes covered damage or leaves permit conditions unmet, the Village can present a claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Evergreen Park's contractor bonds renew on a statutory schedule set by the Village rather than a fixed one-year anniversary, so the term you select determines your next renewal date; we track it and notify you before it lapses.
These are the actual issuing fields — a short business application with a soft-pull credit consent, nothing more.
