About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Village of Lynwood licenses 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 work performed within Lynwood's limits.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Lynwood (the obligee), with property owners and the village itself as the protected parties. If a licensed 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. The bond must stay active for the life of your license, so we track it and send renewal reminders as your term approaches.

Village of Lynwood Building DepartmentThe Village of Lynwood Building Department administers contractor licensing, including the $10,000 bond required before a licensed contractor pulls permits in the village. We could not independently verify a specific municipal code section for this requirement, so we cite the administering department rather than a section number — confirm current terms directly with the Building Department (708-758-6101) before filing.
