What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Palatine permits construction, excavation, and utility work performed in its public streets and right-of-way — a highway permit is the Village’s mechanism for controlling who opens village pavement and how it gets restored. The Village conditions the permit on a $10,000 surety bond.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Palatine (the obligee). The bond guarantees the right-of-way is restored to village standards and that permitted work is performed in compliance with the permit’s conditions, so the Village isn’t left absorbing the cost of a poorly restored street.
It is not insurance for you. If the Village makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way cleanly treat this as a filing formality, not a risk.

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 $10,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
