What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor bond actually guarantees
Sugar Grove requires an annual contractor registration for any person or entity engaged in or having obligations to do work in the Village where the scope of work requires a building permit. The registration application must be submitted with a license and permit surety bond, in the amount set from time to time by resolution of the Village Board of Trustees.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Sugar Grove (the obligee), with the Village and its residents as the protected parties. The bond protects consumers from financial harm arising from contractor misconduct on permitted work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the Village Board can revise the required amount by resolution, confirm the current figure with the Building Division before applying — the amount most commonly required is $10,000.

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 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.
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
File with the Village. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your annual contractor registration through the Building Division. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
