Who Needs This Bond?
If you are applying for or renewing a contractor's license in Lake in the Hills, Illinois, this bond is required before the village will approve your license. General contractors, specialty trade contractors, and other construction professionals operating within the village limits must secure this bond as part of the local licensing process. It does not matter whether you are an established company or a sole proprietor — if Lake in the Hills requires your license, they require this bond. This is a local village requirement, not a statewide Illinois license.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to hold licensed contractors accountable to Lake in the Hills' local licensing standards and construction codes. It gives the village and its residents a financial backstop if a bonded contractor fails to meet their obligations under the license. Claims against the bond can be made when a contractor's conduct causes financial harm that falls within the bond's covered conditions. The bond is not insurance for the contractor — it is a guarantee made to the village on behalf of the public.
When is it Required?
Renewal is a key moment to watch — if your Lake in the Hills contractor's license is up for renewal and your bond has lapsed or expired, the village can deny the renewal until a valid bond is in place. The bond must typically be active and on file before the village issues or reinstates your license. New applicants must secure the bond before the licensing process is complete. Keep your bond current for every license term to avoid work stoppages or license suspension.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the Village of Lake in the Hills, Illinois. It satisfies a local licensing requirement set by the village — it does not fulfill bonding requirements in any other Illinois municipality or at the state level. Contractors working in other nearby jurisdictions will need separate bonds for those localities.
