What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Plainfield registers contractors by trade class, and a general contractor registering with the Building & Community Development Department posts a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of that registration. No permit for general contracting work inside village limits is issued to an unregistered, unbonded contractor.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Plainfield (the obligee), with property owners and the Village itself as the protected parties. If a bonded general contractor's work causes damage the Village's registration 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. If your trade is specifically roofing or siding, Plainfield registers that as its own class with a separate bond filing rather than the general contractor class.
