About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the contractor bond actually guarantees

A contractor license bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The Village of Maywood licenses contractors before they may pull building permits, and the license is backed by a surety bond that protects the Village and the public if the contractor's work fails to meet the building code or a permit condition.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Maywood (the obligee), acting through its Community Development Department, which oversees contractor licensing and building permits. If licensed work is left non-compliant, unpermitted, or otherwise in violation of the Village's ordinances, the Village can draw on the bond to cover the cost of correction — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Maywood ties the required bond amount to the type of contracting work — the Community Development Department confirms your specific figure when you apply for or renew your license. Enter the amount your paperwork shows; your premium is priced at 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum, after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Maywood contractor bond?Premiums cost 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The amount itself varies by the type of contracting work and is confirmed by the Community Development Department when you apply for or renew your license. Enter the amount your license paperwork shows and your exact price appears at the application.
What amount should I enter?The bond amount shown on your Village of Maywood contractor license application or renewal notice, which varies by contractor type. If you have not yet applied, call Community Development at (708) 450-6307 to confirm the figure before you apply.
What does the bond guarantee?It guarantees your licensed work complies with the Village's building code and licensing ordinances. If the Village or a property owner suffers a loss tied to non-compliant or unpermitted work, the Village can draw on the bond to cover the cost of correction.
Do I pay the full bond amount?No. The bond amount is the Village's coverage limit if a claim is made against you, not your cost. You pay only the premium — 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
Is there a credit check?The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.
