What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

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 premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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
