About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Village of Willow Springs licenses contractors before they can pull building permits inside the Village, and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond filed with the Willow Springs Building Department. The bond stands behind a licensed contractor's compliance with the Village's building and licensing requirements on jobs performed in Willow Springs.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Willow Springs (the obligee), with property owners and the Village itself as the protected parties. If a contractor's licensed work causes covered damage or a Village-code violation the ordinance reaches, the harmed party can recover against the bond up to its $10,000 limit.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay on file for the life of your Willow Springs contractor license, so confirm the exact filing requirements and renewal cadence with the Building Department when you apply.
