Park City contractor bonds.
$100 flat.

Park City's Building Department requires a contractor to register before pulling a permit, backed by a $10,000 surety bond. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — a soft credit pull at most, never a hard inquiry.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Illinois does not license general contractors at the state level, so Park City conditions its own Building Department permit process on a contractor first registering behind a $10,000 surety bond. Park City's site confirms a dedicated "Requirement For Contractors" section governs this registration, administered out of City Hall at 3355 Belvidere Road.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Park City (the obligee), with property owners and the City's permit process as the protected interest. If a registered contractor fails to perform or leaves an unpaid claim the bond covers, the harmed party can bring a claim against it up to the $10,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your registration, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your filing continuous.

City of Park City — Building DepartmentPark City conditions contractor registration on this $10,000 bond through its Building Department rather than through a state-level license — Illinois does not license general contractors at the state level, and home-rule cities like Park City set their own permit-desk conditions. We could not independently verify a citable municipal-code section number for the requirement from a fetchable source, so confirm your bond amount and any current fee schedule with the Building Department at (847) 623-5030 before you apply.
