About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Orland Hills is a home-rule Illinois village, and like most Illinois municipalities it does not rely on a statewide contractor license — its Building Department pairs its own Contractor Application with a $10,000 surety bond requirement before a permit is issued. No permit for work inside village limits is issued to an unbonded contractor.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Orland Hills (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 $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 as long as you hold or plan to pull permits in Orland Hills.

Village of Orland Hills — Building DepartmentOrland Hills's contractor bonding requirement is administered by the Building Department rather than by a state statute — Illinois does not license general contractors at the state level, and villages like Orland Hills set their own permit conditions. The Village has not published a citable municipal-code section number for this specific requirement in a source we could independently verify, so confirm the current bond amount and any class distinctions directly with the Building Department, (708) 349-6666, before you apply.
