About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Village of La Grange registers contractors through its Community Development Department, which sets varied bond and insurance requirements by contractor type — a $10,000 bond is required for a La Grange Contractor License. The bond stands behind the contractor's compliance with village permit and building requirements.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of La Grange (the obligee), with the village and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a contractor fails to perform or leaves a covered claim unpaid, the village or an injured party can draw against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. La Grange registrations run on a calendar year, so mark your renewal date rather than the bond's anniversary.

Village of La Grange Community Development DepartmentThe Village of La Grange's Community Development Department requires a $10,000 bond as part of contractor registration, with registrations valid from January 1 through December 30 and renewed annually. We could not confirm a codified ordinance section for this specific bond amount against a live copy of the La Grange municipal code, so we cite the requiring department rather than a section number — confirm current terms with Community Development before filing.
