The Village of Itasca requires a general contractor to register with the Community Development Department and post a $10,000 Code Compliance Bond, together with a certificate of insurance naming the Village, before permits are issued. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — a soft credit pull at most, never a hard inquiry.
















A small-village contractor registration bond is about the simplest filing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with Itasca Community Development alongside your registration form and certificate of insurance. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Itasca, a DuPage County village along the East-West Tollway, does not rely on a statewide contractor license — like most Illinois municipalities, it conditions its own permit process on a contractor first registering with the Community Development Department and posting a $10,000 Code Compliance Bond.
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 causes damage or violates the codes this bond is meant to guard against, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to the $10,000 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 — a half-year registration is available after June 30 at a reduced fee, so plan your filing date around the Village's own cycle, not a one-year-from-purchase assumption.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
