About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Village of Timberlake licenses contractors who work in the village and conditions that license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee: it backs your promise to work to the village's building and right-of-way rules and to repair any public property you disturb.

It is a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Timberlake (the obligee), with the village and its residents protected. If a licensed contractor damages public infrastructure or violates the village's contractor rules, the village can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the village's rules treat the $5,000 bond as a license formality, not a risk.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Timberlake contractor license bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. At a flat 3% the $5,000 bond would be $150, but the minimum premium is $275, so that is the price for every contractor. The $5,000 is set by the Village, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the Timberlake license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
