Every contractor and subcontractor working in the Village of Matteson must file an original $10,000 License and Permit Bond naming the Village as obligee, and register annually with the Community Development Department. 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 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 and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Matteson contractor registration through the Village's online licensing system. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The Village of Matteson requires every contractor and subcontractor performing work in the village to file an original $10,000 License and Permit Bond naming the Village as obligee, administered by the Community Development Department's Building Services Division. The bond stands behind a contractor's compliance with village building code and permit requirements.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Matteson (the obligee), with property owners and the village itself 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. The bond runs alongside your contractor registration, which the Village requires to be renewed annually; Matteson also requires proof of liability insurance alongside the bond before registration is complete.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information.
