What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Lemont licenses electrical contractors through its Building Department, and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond stands behind a contractor's compliance with village building code and permit requirements on electrical work performed within Lemont's limits.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Lemont (the obligee), with property owners and the village itself as the protected parties. If a licensed electrician's work fails to meet code or leaves the village exposed to a covered claim, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Lemont does not charge a separate license fee for the electrical trade, but the bond and current liability and workers' compensation insurance must be on file before a license is issued or renewed.

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 bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
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
