About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

North Riverside requires every contractor to register with the Village before pulling permits, but it adds an extra condition for two specific trades: a plumber or electrician must also carry a $10,000 surety bond and a copy of their current state trade license, alongside the standard contractor-registration certificate of insurance naming the Village as additional insured.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of North Riverside (the obligee), with property owners and the Village itself as the protected parties. If a bonded plumber's or electrician's work causes covered damage, a harmed party can recover against 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. Village contractor registration is renewed on a calendar-year basis, so track your registration alongside your bond term.

Village of North Riverside — Contractor RegistrationNorth Riverside's plumber-and-electrician bonding requirement is administered through the Village's Contractor Registration process rather than by a state statute — Illinois does not license general contractors at the state level, and villages like North Riverside set their own registration 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 renewal details directly with the Village before you apply.
