Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors applying for a license to work within the Village of Lemont, Illinois must obtain this bond. Whether you do general contracting, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or another trade, the city requires this bond as part of your license application. It applies to both first-time applicants and those renewing an existing Lemont contractor license. If you've been told by the Village that you need a contractor license bond, this is the one.
What is this Bond For?
This bond creates a financial guarantee between you as the licensed contractor, the Village of Lemont as the obligee, and a surety company standing behind your compliance. It ensures you operate in accordance with Lemont's licensing requirements, local ordinances, and applicable construction standards. If you fail to meet those obligations and a valid claim is filed, the bond funds compensate the harmed party up to the bond amount. You remain responsible for reimbursing the surety for any paid claims.
When is it Required?
Submitting a contractor license application to the Village of Lemont is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. The Village will not approve your license without proof that this bond is in place. If your license lapses and you reapply, you'll need a current bond again before approval. Have it ready before you submit your paperwork to avoid delays.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the Village of Lemont, Illinois and is a local licensing requirement — not a statewide Illinois contractor license. It covers contracting activity performed under a Lemont-issued contractor license within the city's jurisdiction. Work performed in other Illinois municipalities or counties is governed by separate local bonding requirements.
