What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Hampton, a small Rock Island County community on the Mississippi, requires contractors performing work inside village limits to file a $10,000 surety bond before the village issues a building permit. There is no separate trade license behind the requirement — it is a permit-conditioned registration bond administered by the village clerk’s office.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Hampton (the obligee). The bond guarantees you’ll perform permitted work in compliance with village permit conditions and applicable building code — so Hampton isn’t left absorbing the cost of a job a contractor walked away from or performed out of code.
It is not insurance for you. If the Village makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who close out their permits cleanly treat the bond as a filing formality, not a risk.

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.
