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. No credit check up to $100,000.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Village Clerk. Submit the executed bond, alongside your dram shop insurance, to the Village Clerk's office to complete your liquor license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
