The City of Rolling Meadows requires a $10,000 license bond from sewer contractors before it issues a business license to work inside city limits. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see at checkout is the price you pay, the same for every sewer contractor. The application collects no credit information.
















A municipal contractor-license bond is among the simplest bonds we issue. Here is the whole process:
Business details and an effective date — that is the application. No financials, no credit section on this bond’s form.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your contractor license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Rolling Meadows licenses contractors working inside city limits, and conditions a sewer contractor license on a $10,000 surety bond filed in the City’s favor. Rolling Meadows lists the requirement, alongside proof of insurance, on its own contractor-license page — every category of contractor except state-licensed plumbers and roofers files one.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Rolling Meadows (the obligee). The bond guarantees you’ll perform sewer work under your license in compliance with city code, so the City isn’t left absorbing the cost of a job left unfinished or performed out of code.
It is not insurance for you. If the City makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who close out their permits cleanly treat this as a filing formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
