What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Huntley, a fast-growing McHenry and Kane County village, conditions permission to cut, bore, or trench in a public street, sidewalk, or easement on a $10,000 surety bond covering the calendar-year registration. Utility contractors, excavation crews, and telecommunications installers are the most common filers, alongside general contractors whose scope of work reaches the right of way.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Huntley (the obligee), with the Village and the traveling public as the protected parties. If a bonded contractor fails to properly restore a street, sidewalk, or utility cut after the work, the Village can recover against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum to make the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Huntley pairs the bond with a general liability insurance requirement (minimum $600,000 aggregate) and an annual registration fee, so budget for all three when you plan a job that touches Village right of way.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Village. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with Huntley Development Services alongside your right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
