About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Village of Hampshire requires a permit for a supervised public display of fireworks within the village. Among the conditions attached to that permit is a $5,000 surety bond filed before the village issues the permit.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Hampshire (the obligee), with the village and anyone harmed by the display as the protected parties. If the display causes covered property damage or injury up to the bond's limit, a claim can be made against it.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The village may attach other conditions to the display permit, such as liability insurance or an inspection; the bond does not replace any of those. Confirm your specific permit conditions with the Village of Hampshire before your display date.

Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs on this bond, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.
Do I still need insurance and an inspection?Possibly. Many municipalities attach other conditions — like liability insurance or an inspection — to a fireworks display permit, and the $5,000 bond doesn't replace any of those. Check with the Village of Hampshire for its current permit requirements.
