About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Village of Hanover Park requires a contractor to register with the Inspectional Services Division and carry a $10,000 surety bond on file before the village will issue a building permit. That $10,000 amount applies to general, carpentry, concrete, electrical, fence, fire sprinkler, HVAC, and sign contractors — sewer contractors instead post a $20,000 bond.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Hanover Park (the obligee), with the village and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a contractor's work fails to meet code or leaves covered obligations unpaid, the village or a harmed party can look to the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Hanover Park will not issue a building permit until every contractor performing work on a project is registered and bonded, so subcontractors need their own filing too.

Village of Hanover Park Inspectional Services DivisionThe Village of Hanover Park's Inspectional Services Division (2121 W. Lake St., 630-823-5860) requires contractor registration and a $10,000 surety bond for general, carpentry, concrete, electrical, fence, fire sprinkler, HVAC, and sign contractors; sewer contractors post $20,000. A building permit will not be issued until every contractor on the project is registered and bonded. A specific municipal code chapter/section number was not independently verifiable at publication; confirm your bond requirement with Inspectional Services before filing.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Hanover Park contractor license bond?Our rate is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The Village of Hanover Park fixes the bond itself at $10,000 for most trades, so at that amount the $100 minimum applies — your exact price shows at the application before you pay.
What amount should I enter?You don't need to — this Hanover Park contractor bond is fixed at $10,000, so the amount is already set and locked in on the application.
What does the bond guarantee?It backs your compliance with Hanover Park's building and permit requirements as a registered contractor. If your work leaves the village or a harmed property owner with a covered, unpaid obligation, they can make a claim against the $10,000 bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is the sewer contractor bond the same amount?No. Hanover Park requires a $20,000 bond for sewer contractors specifically — every other listed trade, including general contractors, posts $10,000. Confirm your trade class with Inspectional Services if you are unsure which applies.
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.
