What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor license bond actually guarantees
A contractor license bond is a code-compliance guarantee. Any person whose construction, repair, or alteration of a building or structure in Orland Park requires a building permit is presumed to be a contractor and must be licensed by the Village's Development Services Department — and a surety bond is a condition of that license, protecting the Village and the public if the contractor's work fails to meet the building code or a permit condition.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Orland Park (the obligee), acting through Development Services. Orland Park's licensing ordinance separately requires a certificate of general liability insurance naming the Village as certificate holder, at a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and workers' compensation at the statutory minimum — the surety bond sits alongside that insurance as an additional condition the Village's licensing process imposes. If licensed work is left non-compliant or unpermitted, the Village can draw on the bond to cover the cost of correction — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Licenses run the calendar year, January 1 through December 31, and are issued by Development Services upon a complete application, compliance with the licensing ordinance, and payment of the license fee. Orland Park does not publish a single villagewide bond penal sum — Development Services confirms the required amount when you apply for or renew your license. Enter the figure your 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 bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
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
