About this bond

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.

Mokena Village Code §§ 3-8-2, 3-8-4 (Registration Required; Bond Requirements)Sections 3-8-2 and 3-8-4 of the Mokena Village Code require anyone acting or performing services as a contractor within the Village to first register with the Building Department, conditioned on a surety bond in the penal sum of $10,000. Confirm the current bond amount and any class distinctions with the Building Department before applying.
