Midlothian contractor bonds.
$100 flat.

The Village of Midlothian's Building Department licenses every contractor and handyman who works in the Village — even where a permit is not otherwise required — and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond with sureties approved by the Board of Trustees. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — a soft credit pull at most, never a hard inquiry.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Midlothian licenses every contractor and handyman doing work in the Village — its Building Department requires the license even for jobs that would not otherwise need a permit. The license is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond, with the surety subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, before the Building Department will issue it.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Midlothian (the obligee), with the Village and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a licensed contractor's work causes a loss the licensing ordinance is meant to guard against, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Demolition and asbestos-removal contractors carry additional liability-insurance minimums beyond this bond; check with the Building Department on any class-specific requirements that apply to your trade.

Village of Midlothian Code of Ordinances § 5-4-14 (Building Contractors)Section 5-4-14(D) of the Midlothian Code of Ordinances requires every contractor licensed under that section to file and keep in force, for the license period, a bond in the sum of $10,000 with sureties approved by the Board of Trustees, indemnifying the Village against loss arising from the contractor's business. Confirm your license class (general or trade contractor) and the current bond figure with the Village before applying.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Midlothian contractor license bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every licensed contractor. The $10,000 bond amount is set by the Village, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so most applicants approve instantly. If a check ever runs on this bond, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.
Do handymen need this bond too, not just licensed trades?Yes — Midlothian requires the Village license, and this bond, for handymen as well as licensed contractors, even on jobs that wouldn't otherwise need a permit. Check with the Building Department if you're unsure whether your work requires it.
