The Town of Highland Park requires a $2,000 bond from contractors before it issues a permit to pour or replace concrete — driveways, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks in the Town right-of-way. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — and this is issued on the spot.
















Municipal permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Town of Highland Park before you pull your concrete permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A concrete bond is a workmanship-and-restoration guarantee to the Town of Highland Park. When you pour or replace concrete in the Town's streets, curbs, gutters, and right-of-way, the Town wants a financial backstop that the work will meet its specifications and the public way will be properly restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Highland Park (the obligee). If concrete work fails to meet Town standards or damages public infrastructure that isn't repaired, the Town can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active while you're registered to work in the Town. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, so your $2,000 filing stays continuous and your permits keep clearing.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information for this bond.
