What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the Village of Gurnee and its residents from financial losses caused by a licensed contractor who violates the terms of the city's licensing requirements. It is not a performance bond tied to a specific job — it is a license-level guarantee that you will conduct your contracting business in compliance with Gurnee's local rules. The Village holds the bond as a condition of granting you the right to work legally within city limits. If a valid claim is paid out, you are responsible for reimbursing the surety.
When is it Required?
Applying for a contractor's license in Gurnee is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Before the city approves your application or processes a renewal, the bond must be in place and on file. There is no grace period — unlicensed contracting in Gurnee carries real risk, and the city will not move forward without it. Bond first, then complete the rest of your licensing paperwork.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the Village of Gurnee, Illinois. It satisfies a local licensing requirement, not an Illinois state contractor registration. The bond covers your contracting activity within Gurnee's jurisdiction and has no effect on licensing in neighboring municipalities or elsewhere in Lake County.
