What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Flossmoor is a home-rule Illinois village, and like most Illinois municipalities it does not rely on a statewide contractor license — its Building & Zoning Department conditions contractor registration on a $10,000 surety bond, alongside a separate registration fee. No permit for work inside village limits goes to an unregistered, unbonded contractor.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Flossmoor (the obligee), with property owners and the Village itself as the protected parties. If a bonded contractor's work causes damage the registration requirement is meant to guard against, a harmed party can recover against 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. Flossmoor's registration runs the calendar year (January 1 through December 31) rather than one year from your purchase date, so build that into your renewal calendar. Licensed plumbers and roofers are exempt from the bond under the Village's own posted requirements, though not from registering.

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. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with Flossmoor Building & Zoning alongside your registration paperwork. 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.
