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

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.
