Itasca general contractor bonds.
$100 flat.

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.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

Village of Itasca — Community Development DepartmentItasca's contractor bonding requirement is administered by the Village rather than by a state statute — Illinois does not license general contractors at the state level, and villages like Itasca set their own permit conditions. The Village has not published a citable municipal-code section number for this specific requirement in a source we could independently verify, so confirm the current bond amount and registration fee directly with Itasca Community Development before you apply.
