What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Milan Village Code § 10-2-7 (Building Contractors) requires a general, mechanical, or electrical contractor to post a continuous $10,000 surety bond made out to the Village, on the Village's form, as a condition of registration. “Continuous” means the bond stays active from year to year rather than expiring on a fixed date — it runs until you or the surety cancel it, and the surety must give the Village 30 days' written notice before canceling.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Milan (the obligee), with the Village and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a registered contractor's work causes a loss the registration ordinance is meant to guard against, the Village can draw on 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. A subcontractor working under a general contractor's permit must also register, but § 10-2-7 exempts it from filing its own bond — the general contractor's bond covers that work — unless the subcontractor separately carries its own $10,000 bond meeting the same requirement. Confirm your situation with the Village before assuming you're exempt.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Village. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Milan Building and Inspections Division alongside your permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
