What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Hoffman Estates requires anyone completing construction work within the village to file a $10,000 license and permit bond, administered through its building permit process. The bond guarantees the contractor's work is completed according to code requirements and applicable village ordinances.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Hoffman Estates (the obligee), with the village and harmed property owners as the protected parties. A contractor who fails to comply with code requirements risks license action and a claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. A contractor already licensed and bonded through the State of Illinois may be exempt from this village-level bond in some circumstances; confirm your status with the village before assuming exemption.
