What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor license bond actually guarantees
A contractor license bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The Village of Lansing licenses contractors before they may pull building permits, and the license is backed by a surety bond that protects the Village and the public if the contractor's work fails to meet the building code or a permit condition.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Lansing (the obligee), acting through its Building Department. If licensed work is left non-compliant, unpermitted, or otherwise in violation of the Village's building and licensing ordinances, the Village can draw on the bond to cover the cost of correction — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The Village does not publish one villagewide penal sum for every trade — the Building Department confirms the required amount when you apply for or renew your contractor license. Enter the figure your license paperwork shows; your premium is priced at 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum, after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
