About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Monee is a small, growing Will County village, and like most Illinois municipalities it does not rely on a statewide contractor license — it conditions its own building-permit process on a contractor first posting a $20,000 surety bond and filing a business license application with the Village.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Monee (the obligee), with property owners and the Village itself as the protected parties. If a bonded contractor's work causes damage the Village's licensing requirement is meant to guard against, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to the $20,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Monee's business license runs on the Village's own cycle, so build your renewal date into your compliance calendar rather than assuming a one-year-from-purchase term.

Village of Monee — Building ServicesMonee's contractor bonding requirement is administered by Building Services rather than by a state statute — Illinois does not license general contractors at the state level, and villages like Monee set their own permit conditions. We could not independently verify a citable municipal-code section number for this specific requirement from a publicly fetchable source, so confirm the current bond amount and any class distinctions directly with Monee Building Services before you apply.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Monee, Illinois contractor license bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every contractor. The $20,000 bond amount is set by the Village, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $20,000?No. You pay $100. The $20,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
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.
Do I also need a business license?Yes — Monee requires a state-licensed business to also complete a Village business license application alongside the contractor bond. We issue the bond; the business license application is a separate short form with Building Services.
