Roselle contractor license bonds.

Roselle requires trade and specialty contractors — electricians, plumbers, roofers, and other non-general trades — to be licensed and bonded before the Building & Zoning Division will register the business. The bond runs $10,000, and ours is $100 flat, the price you see at checkout. No credit check, and most applications approve instantly.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Roselle's Development & Engineering Services department, through its Building & Zoning Division, conditions licensing for trade and specialty contractors — outside the general contractor category — on a $10,000 surety bond made out to the Village of Roselle. Licensing and the bond exist so a homeowner or the Village has recourse if a contractor's work fails to meet code.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Roselle (the obligee), with homeowners and the Village as the parties the bond protects. If a licensed contractor's work or conduct triggers a covered claim, the harmed party can recover against the bond up to its $10,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Keep the bond active for as long as you hold a Roselle contractor license; we track your term and notify you before it lapses so a permit application is never held up by an expired filing.

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 $10,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with Roselle’s Development & Engineering Services team alongside your contractor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
