Woodridge contractor bonds.
$100 flat.
The Village of Woodridge charges no registration fee but requires several trades — electrical, water and sewer, blacktop, concrete, paver brick, and excavating contractors applying for a permit — to post a surety company bond payable to the Village in the penal sum of $10,000. 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
Woodridge charges no registration fee, but its Building Permits & Inspections division requires a surety company bond payable to the Village in the penal sum of $10,000 from electrical contractors, water and sewer contractors, blacktop / concrete / paver brick contractors, and excavators applying for a permit — on top of the trade license or general-contractor insurance each category also carries.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Woodridge (the obligee), with property owners and the Village's infrastructure as the protected parties. If a bonded contractor's work causes damage the permit condition 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. All permits (and the bond that accompanies them) must be picked up and signed for in person at Woodridge Village Hall, so keep your bond documents ready before your appointment.
