About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Roselle's Development & Engineering Services department, through its Building & Zoning Division, conditions general contractor licensing on a $25,000 surety bond made out to the Village of Roselle. Licensing and the bond exist so a homeowner or the Village has recourse if a general contractor's work fails to meet code or leaves a permit obligation unmet.

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 general contractor's work or conduct triggers a covered claim, the harmed party can recover against the bond up to its $25,000 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 general contractor license; we track your term and notify you before it lapses so a permit application is never held up by an expired filing.

Village of Roselle — Development & Engineering Services (Building & Zoning Division)Roselle requires contractors to be licensed with the Village, and its contractor registration materials call for a surety bond made out to the Village of Roselle as part of that licensing — with the required amount varying by contractor class. The Village has not published a specific ordinance section for the bond amount on its public licensing materials; confirm the amount for a general contractor with the Building & Zoning Division before applying.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Roselle general contractor bond?The premium is $125 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every general contractor. The $25,000 bond amount is set by Roselle's contractor licensing requirement, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $125. The $25,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many applicants finish and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so most applicants approve instantly. If a check ever runs on this bond, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.
What if I'm a trade or specialty contractor, not a general contractor?Roselle licenses trade and specialty contractors under a separate $10,000 bond, not this $25,000 general contractor bond. We write that one too — see the Roselle other-type contractor bond.
