What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Wellington requires a $5,000 contractor license bond as a condition of registering to do contracting work in the village. It is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee standing behind your obligation to follow village building and zoning code and properly restore any public property you disturb.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Wellington (the obligee). If you violate village code or damage public property and don't make it right, 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 work to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

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 $5,000 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.
