What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Grundy County's Land Use Department, through its Building Office, administers building permits and contractor licensing in unincorporated areas of the county. Before it issues a building permit, the county requires the performing contractor to be properly licensed — and that license is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond on file with the county.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Grundy County (the obligee), with the county and property owners as the protected parties. If a licensed contractor's work fails to meet the county's building code or leaves covered obligations unmet, the county or a harmed party can make a claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond stays on file for the life of your county contractor license, so we track the term and send renewal reminders before it lapses.
