What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Lake Zurich requires contractors performing building and construction trade work — and, separately, fire suppression system work — to register annually and file a $10,000 surety bond. The Village will not approve a permit application until every contractor on the project is registered and bonded.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Lake Zurich (the obligee). The bond guarantees permitted work is performed in compliance with village codes and permit conditions — so the Village and property owners aren’t left absorbing the cost of noncompliant or abandoned work.
It is not insurance for you. If the Village makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Registration is annual and paid per contractor, so we track the bond term and notify you ahead of renewal.

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 your contractor registration or renewal. 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.
