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.

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 $5,000 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
