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.
