Before pulling a building permit in the Village of Lindenhurst, most contractors file a $5,000 license-and-permit bond made out to the Village. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — with a short application that collects no credit information.
















Village license bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, your trade, and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Village license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to submit to Village Hall with your contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The Village of Lindenhurst conditions most contractor registrations on a $5,000 surety bond made out to the Village. The bond stands behind a contractor's compliance with village permit and building-code requirements on work performed within Lindenhurst's limits.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Lindenhurst (the obligee), with property owners and the village as the protected parties. If a contractor's work fails to meet code or leaves a covered claim unresolved, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Bonds are filed for a one-year term as standard, mailed or emailed directly to Village Hall.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information.
