Schiller Park specialty contractor bonds.
$100 flat.
A single-trade specialty contractor — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and similar work — registers with the Village of Schiller Park through its Community Core portal and carries a $10,000 surety bond, a fifth of what the Village requires of a general contractor. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — a soft credit pull at most, never a hard inquiry.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Schiller Park's Community Development Department sets a lower, $10,000 bond for a contractor registering in a single specialty trade rather than as a general contractor — the Village's Community Core portal handles both registration paths, and this one covers the narrower scope of work a trade contractor performs. Schiller Park's general contractor registration bond, by comparison, is $50,000.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Schiller Park (the obligee), with property owners and the Village's permit process as the protected interest. If a bonded contractor's work causes damage the registration requirement is meant to guard against, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay on file with the Village for the life of your registration, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your filing continuous.
