About this bond

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.

Village of Flossmoor — Building & Zoning DepartmentFlossmoor's contractor registration requirement — including the $10,000 bond and a $100 registration fee — is published by the Village's Building & Zoning Department rather than cited to a specific codified section number in a source we could independently verify. Confirm the current bond amount and any trade-specific exemption directly with the Building & Zoning Department before you apply.

How much is the Flossmoor, Illinois contractor license bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every contractor. The $10,000 bond amount is set by the Village, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 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?Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors 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.
Am I exempt if I am a licensed plumber or roofer?Flossmoor's Building & Zoning Department exempts licensed plumbers and roofers from the surety bond requirement, though you still register. Confirm your trade's exemption status with the Village before assuming it applies to you.
