About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Illinois licenses electrical contractors at the trade level, but Itasca still layers on its own local registration: the Village's Community Development Department requires a $5,000 Code Compliance Bond and a copy of the state electrical license before a contractor can pull permits inside the Village.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Itasca (the obligee), with property owners and the Village's code enforcement interest as the protected parties. If a registered contractor's work violates the codes this registration is meant to enforce, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to the $5,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Itasca registrations run the calendar year and expire December 31 regardless of when you filed, so time your renewal to that date rather than to your purchase anniversary.

Village of Itasca — Community Development DepartmentItasca's electrical contractor bond requirement is administered by the Community Development Department rather than by a state statute — Illinois licenses the trade, but the local registration condition is a Village-level requirement. The Village has not published a citable municipal-code section number for this specific bond in a source we could independently verify, so confirm the current bond amount and registration fee directly with Itasca Village Hall before you apply.

After you buy

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 $5,000 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 Itasca Community Development alongside your state electrical license and registration form. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
