About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Minooka's Village Code § 3-7-4 sets a lower bond tier for subcontractors registering under their own license — $5,000 instead of $10,000 — reflecting the narrower scope of subcontractor work compared to a general contractor holding the overall permit.

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 registered subcontractor's work causes a loss the licensing requirement is meant to guard against, the Village can draw on the bond up to the $5,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. If you later register as a general contractor holding your own permits, you'll need to step up to the $10,000 general contractor bond; we re-issue at the higher amount.

Minooka Village Code § 3-7-4 (License Fees and Bonds)Section 3-7-4 of the Minooka Village Code, within Chapter 7 (Contractors) of Title 3 (Business Regulations), sets a $5,000 bond for subcontractors registered in the Village, a lower tier than the $10,000 general contractor amount. Confirm the current fee schedule and your registration class with the Building Department before applying.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Minooka subcontractor bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every registered subcontractor. The $5,000 bond amount is set by Village Code § 3-7-4, so there is no quote process.
How is this different from the general contractor bond?Same code section, lower amount. A subcontractor registered under its own license files a $5,000 bond; a general contractor holding the overall permit files $10,000. Each carries its own flat rate-book premium — $100 either way with us.
Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
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.
What if I start holding my own general contractor permits?Then you move to the $10,000 general contractor bond. Tell us and we re-issue at the higher amount — your Village registration class has to match the bond you file.
