La Grange Park contractor bonds.
$100 flat.

The Village of La Grange Park will not issue a contractor license — and its Building Department will not release a permit — until the contractor files a $10,000 corporate surety bond under Village Code § 150.08. 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

La Grange Park's Building Department will not release a permit for construction work until every contractor on the job is registered and licensed, and Village Code § 150.08 conditions that license on a corporate surety bond in the amount of $10,000, conditioned to indemnify and hold the Village harmless from liability, loss, or damage resulting from the contractor's work.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of La Grange Park (the obligee), with property owners and the Village as the protected parties. The bond also guarantees completion of the work in conformance with applicable codes — if a bonded contractor's work falls short, 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. Under § 150.08, a contractor already licensed by the State of Illinois who registers with the Village is not required to obtain a separate Village license, so long as the state license and the bond or certificate of insurance stay current.

La Grange Park Village Code § 150.08 — Contractor License and InsuranceVillage Code § 150.08 states that no person shall engage in the business of contractor within the Village without first obtaining a license, and that before any license is issued the contractor must provide a corporate surety bond in the amount of $10,000, conditioned to indemnify and hold the Village harmless from liability, loss, or damage resulting from the work performed, and to guarantee completion of the work in conformance with applicable codes. The license, and the bond that supports it, is valid for one year from the date of issuance and becomes invalid if the bond or certificate of insurance expires or is cancelled.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

I'm already licensed by the State of Illinois — do I still need this?Under § 150.08, a state-licensed contractor who registers with the Village does not need a separate Village license so long as the state license stays valid and the required bond or certificate of insurance stays current — you may still need to file this bond as part of that registration. Confirm with the Building Department.
