Richton Park contractor bonds.
$100 flat.

The Village of Richton Park, a south Cook County community, requires a contractor to file a $10,000 license and permit bond, naming the Village as obligee, before it will register the contractor to pull permits. 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

Richton Park requires every contractor doing work in the Village to register before beginning a qualifying project, and conditions that registration on a $10,000 license and permit bond. Roofing, fire sprinkler, lawn irrigation, and private alarm contractors also have to submit their current State of Illinois license or registration alongside the bond, and electrical contractors submit their Electrical Contractor license from the licensing authority.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Richton Park (the obligee), with property owners and the Village itself as the protected parties. If a registered contractor's work causes damage the Village's 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. Registration and the bond behind it have to stay active for the life of your work in the Village, so plan your renewal before your current filing lapses.

Village of Richton Park — Community DevelopmentRichton Park's contractor registration bonding requirement is administered by the Village's Community Development department rather than by a state statute — Illinois does not license general contractors at the state level, and villages like Richton Park set their own registration conditions. The Village has not published a citable municipal-code section number for this specific bond amount in a source we could independently verify, so confirm the current figure directly with the Richton Park Community Development office before you apply.
