Roselle requires a general contractor to be licensed and bonded before the Building & Zoning Division will register the business — the bond runs $25,000, and ours is $125 flat, the price you see at checkout. The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.
















Municipal contractor bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Registration 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 Roselle’s Development & Engineering Services team alongside your contractor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
