The Village of Minooka, straddling Grundy and Will Counties, licenses general contractors under Village Code Title 3, Chapter 7 (Contractors) and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond under § 3-7-4 (License Fees and Bonds). 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.
















A Village of Minooka general contractor bond is about the simplest filing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Registration 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 the Minooka Building Department alongside your license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Minooka licenses contractors and subcontractors under Village Code Title 3, Chapter 7 (Contractors), with license fees and bond amounts set out at § 3-7-4. A general contractor files a $10,000 bond; a subcontractor working under its own registration files a lower $5,000 bond instead.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Minooka (the obligee), with the Village and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a licensed general contractor's work causes a loss the licensing requirement 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. If your business registers as a subcontractor rather than a general contractor, file the lower $5,000 bond instead of this one; we write both.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
