About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the contractor license bond actually guarantees

A contractor license bond is a code-compliance guarantee. Every contractor performing work in the City of Mendota must be registered with the City, and that registration is backed by a surety bond that protects the City 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 City of Mendota (the obligee), acting through the City Clerk's office. A claim under the bond does not excuse you from the underlying obligation — if the surety pays out, you repay the surety. It backs the City's enforcement of its registration and building rules, not insurance for your own work.

Registration and the bond renew every May 1. Contractors doing roofing work also need a separate Illinois Roofing License. There is no single published citywide bond amount — the City Clerk's office confirms the figure required for your registration category. Enter that amount; your premium is priced at 0.5% of it, $100 minimum, after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Mendota contractor license bond?Premiums cost 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The amount itself is confirmed by the City Clerk's office as part of your registration — enter that figure here for your exact price.

What amount should I enter?The bond amount your Mendota contractor registration requires. The City Clerk's office can confirm the figure if it is not already on your registration paperwork.

What does the bond guarantee?It backs your compliance with the City's building code and registration conditions while you are registered to work in Mendota. If the City or a member of the public is harmed by noncompliant work, a claim can be made against the bond.

Do I pay the full bond amount?No. The bond amount is the 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.
