About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the roofing contractor bond actually guarantees

The Village of Robbins regulates who may perform contracting work — including roofing — inside Village limits through Ordinance No. 03-22-22B, "An Ordinance Regulating Contractor Licenses in the Village of Robbins, Cook County, Illinois," adopted March 22, 2022 and repealing the Village's prior contractor ordinance (No. 9-09-08B).

The ordinance conditions a contractor license on a corporate surety bond filed with the Village. It is a code-compliance guarantee: a three-party arrangement between the contractor (principal), the surety, and the Village (obligee), so that if a licensed contractor violates the Village's licensing terms or building code and a property owner or the Village is harmed, a claim can reach the bond. It is not insurance for the contractor — if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety.

Village of Robbins Ordinance No. 03-22-22B, Section 5-15, sets this bond at $10,000: every contractor licensed under the ordinance must submit a license or permit bond in that amount, co-signed by a surety authorized by the Illinois Department of Insurance. Enter that amount, and confirm it with the Village's Building & Zoning office if your license classification differs.

Village of Robbins Ordinance No. 03-22-22BThe Village of Robbins licenses contractors, including roofers, under Ordinance No. 03-22-22B, adopted March 22, 2022, which repealed the Village's prior contractor-licensing ordinance (No. 9-09-08B) and requires a corporate surety bond as a condition of licensure, filed with the Village. Section 5-15 of the ordinance sets that bond at $10,000.00, co-signed by an Illinois-authorized surety. Confirm your required amount and license term with the Village of Robbins Building & Zoning office before applying.

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 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.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the Village. Submit the executed bond to Robbins' licensing office to satisfy your contractor license application or renewal under Ordinance No. 03-22-22B. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, no credit check up to $100,000.

Submit the application with the bond amount your Robbins contractor license requires. Most amounts approve instantly.
