What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Sauk Village, a home-rule municipality in Cook County, requires nearly every contractor working within its limits to register with the Community Development Department before pulling a permit. Registration is conditioned on the contractor first filing a $10,000 surety bond, alongside proof of general liability and, where applicable, workers' compensation insurance.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Sauk Village (the obligee), with property owners and the Village itself as the protected parties. If a registered contractor's work causes damage or leaves a covered obligation unpaid, a harmed party can look to 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. Sauk Village registrations run on a common expiration date rather than an anniversary date, so most contractors renew together each spring; we track your term and notify you ahead of that date to keep the bond continuous.

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

What sets the price
