About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the liquor retailer bond actually guarantees

A liquor retailer bond is a compliance guarantee tied to a retail liquor license. The Village of New Lenox conditions each license granted under its Liquor Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2191) on a surety bond, submitted to the Village Clerk alongside dram shop liability insurance and a copy of the lease.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of New Lenox (the obligee), acting through its Liquor Control Commissioner. If a licensed retailer violates the Village's liquor ordinance or fails to pay a fine, fee, or penalty owed the Village under that license, the Village can draw on the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Retail applicants commonly submit a bond in the amount confirmed on their liquor license checklist; the Village Clerk sets and confirms your specific figure when you apply. Enter the amount your license paperwork shows; your premium is priced at 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum, after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.

Village of New Lenox Liquor Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2191)The Village of New Lenox requires a surety bond, dram shop liability insurance, and a copy of the lease with every new retail liquor license application, and again with each annual renewal, submitted to the Office of the Village Clerk under the Village of New Lenox Liquor Ordinance, Ordinance No. 2191.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the New Lenox liquor retailer bond?Premiums cost 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The Village's own liquor license checklist lists $10,000 as the standard retail bond amount, but the Village Clerk confirms the figure for your specific classification. Enter the amount your license paperwork shows and your exact price appears at the application.
What amount should I enter?The bond amount shown on your New Lenox retail liquor license application or renewal checklist — commonly $10,000. If you are unsure, contact the Village Clerk's office at (815) 462-6420 before you apply.
What does the bond guarantee?It guarantees compliance with the Village's Liquor Ordinance and backs any fine, fee, or penalty a licensed retailer owes the Village under its license. It is separate from — and in addition to — your dram shop liability insurance.
Do I pay the full bond amount?No. The bond amount is the Village's coverage limit if a claim is made against you, not your cost. You pay only the premium — 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
Is there a credit check?The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.
