What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor bond actually guarantees
All contractors must register with the Village of Riverdale before working in the Village and obtaining permits, and the Village requires a surety bond and Certificate of Insurance as part of that registration. The bond provides financial protection to the Village and its residents if a contractor fails to fulfill contractual obligations, violates local ordinances, or causes damage during permitted work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Riverdale (the obligee), with residents and the Village as the protected parties. A claim can be filed if a contractor violates local ordinances, performs defective work, damages public property, or fails to meet contractual obligations.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Riverdale's Contractor bond registration is commonly written around $2,500, but trade-specific registrations (plumbing, masonry, and others) can differ, so confirm your exact figure with Inspectional Services before applying.
