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.

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 $10,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 pick up and sign for at Woodridge Village Hall alongside your permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
