Glenview contractor bonds.
$125 flat.
The Village of Glenview, a North Shore Cook County community, requires a general or demolition contractor to file a $25,000 surety bond with its Development Center before a permit is issued. Ours is $125 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — a soft credit pull at most, never a hard inquiry.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Glenview is a home-rule Illinois village, and like most Illinois villages it does not rely on a statewide contractor license — its Development Center requires contractor registration for general and demolition contractors only, and a $25,000 surety bond is due with the registration form and fee before a permit is issued.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Glenview (the obligee), with property owners and the Village itself as the protected parties. If a bonded contractor's work causes damage the Village's registration requirement is meant to guard against, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to the $25,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Registration also requires a certificate of insurance and proof of workers' compensation coverage, which the Village reviews and approves separately from the bond. We track your term and notify you before renewal so your registration stays continuous.
