About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Hinsdale licenses general contractors under Chapter 17 of the Village Code (General Contractor Licensing). Licensing is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond filed with the village, alongside proof of liability insurance, before an annual license issues.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Hinsdale (the obligee), with the village and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a licensed 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. Hinsdale's general contractor license runs on an annual cycle, so we track your term and send renewal reminders before it lapses.

Hinsdale Village Code, Ch. 17 (General Contractor Licensing)Chapter 17 of the Hinsdale Village Code, General Contractor Licensing, requires a general contractor to hold an annual license and file a $10,000 surety bond with the village. Confirm your current license-year dates and any additional insurance requirements with the Village of Hinsdale before filing.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Hinsdale contractor license bond?Our rate is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The Village of Hinsdale fixes the bond itself at $10,000, 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 — the Hinsdale general contractor bond is fixed at $10,000 under Village Code Chapter 17, so the amount is already set and locked in on the application.
What does the bond guarantee?It backs your compliance with Hinsdale's general contractor licensing requirements. 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.
Do I pay the full bond amount?No. The $10,000 is the bond's penal amount — the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made — not a deposit. You pay the premium: 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum.
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.
