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.

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 Itasca Community Development alongside your registration form and certificate of insurance. 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.
