About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Village of Homer Glen does not issue trade-test contractor licenses — it registers contractors and subcontractors under Article IV of Chapter 83 of the Village Code, adopted by Ord. No. 05-065. Registration is conditioned on a $20,000 permit and license bond deposited with the Village.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Homer Glen (the obligee). The Code conditions the bond on faithful compliance with the applicant's duties and compliance with all applicable Village ordinances, codes, rules and regulations — the same $20,000 penal sum applies to a general contractor or a subcontractor alike.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. All one-year registrations run January 1 to December 31; we offer 1-, 2-, and 3-year terms so you can set this up once and skip the annual scramble.

Village Code §83-31(B)Village Code §83-31(B), adopted by Ord. No. 05-065, requires each applicant for contractor registration to deposit with the Village a permit and license bond or surety bond, issued by a company approved and authorized to issue bonds by the State of Illinois, in favor of the Village in the penal sum of $20,000, conditioned on faithful compliance with all applicable Village ordinances, codes, rules and regulations.
