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, after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
