Hazel Crest street & sidewalk bonds.
$100 flat.
The Village of Hazel Crest's Public Works Department maintains the village's public streets and sidewalks and can require a $10,000 surety bond before a contractor opens, occupies, or works within a public street or sidewalk right-of-way. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — a soft credit pull at most, never a hard inquiry.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Hazel Crest's Public Works Department maintains the village's public streets, sidewalks, traffic signals, and street signs, and conditions a permit to open, occupy, or perform construction work in a public street or sidewalk right-of-way on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond stands behind proper restoration of the right-of-way once the work is finished.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Hazel Crest (the obligee), with the Village and the traveling public as the protected parties. If permitted work leaves a street or sidewalk improperly restored or damaged, the Village can recover against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond is filed alongside the specific permit for your project, so confirm the scope of work and any restoration standard with Public Works before you begin.
