About this bond

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.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Village of Wellington contractor bond? +
The premium is $275. A flat 3% of the $5,000 bond amount is $150, which is below our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 — the same for every contractor.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if the village makes a valid claim against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Small 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.
Where do I file it? +
With the Village of Wellington, alongside your contractor registration. We issue the executed bond ready to file.
