What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Hazel Crest, a Cook County suburb, requires contractors to register with the village before starting permitted work — registration is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond filed in the village’s favor. The Department of Building & Inspectional Services administers the requirement alongside the village’s annual registration fee.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Hazel Crest (the obligee). The bond guarantees permitted work is performed in compliance with village codes and permit conditions — so Hazel Crest 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. Registration lapses annually, so we track the bond term and notify you ahead of renewal.
