About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An Urbancrest contractor bond is a compliance guarantee to the village. It backs your promise to follow the Village of Urbancrest's building and zoning code, pull required permits, and perform registered work to code.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Urbancrest (the obligee). If you damage public property, leave a permit unresolved, or violate the village code, the village — or a harmed party — can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull their permits and finish their work treat the bond as a registration formality, nothing more.

Do I pay the $20,000? +

Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount village bonds like this one don't need one.
