Stickney contractor bonds.
$100 flat.

The Village of Stickney, a Cook County community along the Stevenson Expressway, requires any contractor performing work within its limits to be licensed, bonded, and insured — which starts with a $10,000 surety bond. 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.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Stickney does not rely on a statewide contractor license — like most Illinois villages it conditions its own licensing and permit process on a contractor first posting a $10,000 surety bond. The Village's own guidance is direct: any contractor performing work must be licensed, bonded, and insured before pulling a permit.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Stickney (the obligee), with property owners and the Village itself as the protected parties. If a licensed contractor's work causes damage the licensing 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 active for the life of your Village license, so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration to keep your filing continuous.

Village of Stickney — Building DepartmentStickney's contractor bonding requirement is administered by the Village rather than by a state statute — Illinois does not license general contractors at the state level, and villages like Stickney set their own licensing conditions. The Village's Municipal Services page confirms any contractor performing work must be licensed, bonded, and insured, but does not publish a citable municipal-code section number for this specific requirement in a source we could independently verify — confirm the current figure directly with Stickney Village Hall before you apply.
