What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Lemont requires anyone going door-to-door to sell goods, take orders, or solicit residents to register a solicitor permit with the Lemont Police Department, conditioned on a $1,000 surety bond. The permit and bond apply on top of any background-check or registration steps the Police Department runs before issuing the permit.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Lemont (the obligee). The bond guarantees a solicitor’s conduct and any transactions comply with village ordinance — a resident harmed by a bonded solicitor’s misconduct has a bond to claim against.
It is not insurance for you. If the Village makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. The bond covers the term of your solicitor permit, so we track renewal ahead of expiration.

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 $1,000 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 Lemont Police Department. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your solicitor permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
