The Village of Mokena requires a contractor to register under Village Code § 3-8-2 (Registration Required) before performing services in the Village, and conditions that registration on a $10,000 surety bond under § 3-8-4 (Bond Requirements). Ours is $125 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 Mokena 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 Mokena Building Department alongside your registration application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Village Code § 3-8-2 (Registration Required) bars anyone from acting or performing services as a contractor in Mokena without first registering with the Village. Registration is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond under § 3-8-4 (Bond Requirements), filed with the Building Department, before the Village will issue the registration or a related building permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Mokena (the obligee), with the Village and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a registered contractor's work causes a loss the registration 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. The bond must stay active for the life of your Village registration, so keep it current alongside any building-permit renewals.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
