What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Kankakee registers contractors through its Building & Code Enforcement Department, and registration is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond that stands behind the contractor's compliance with the city's building code and permit conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kankakee (the obligee), with the city and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a registered contractor's work causes a covered loss, the harmed party can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Keep the bond active for as long as your registration is active; we track the renewal date and notify you before it lapses.

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 Building & Code Enforcement. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your contractor registration 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.
