Winfield contractor bonds.
$100 flat.
The Village of Winfield's Building Department bars any contractor or subcontractor from performing work within the Village without first registering — registration runs on 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.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Winfield does not rely on a statewide contractor license — like most Illinois villages it conditions its own registration and permitting process on a contractor first posting a $10,000 surety bond. The Village's Building Department / Zoning Administration is explicit: no person may act or perform services as a general contractor, contractor, or subcontractor in the Village without first registering.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Winfield (the obligee), with property owners and the Village itself as the protected parties. If a registered 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. Winfield registrations run through January 31st of the following year, so build that renewal date into your compliance calendar rather than assuming a one-year-from-purchase cycle.
