Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors seeking to work legally within Lyons, IL need this bond. Whether you are a general contractor, remodeler, or a trade-specific contractor such as an electrician or plumber, the Village of Lyons will require you to post this bond as part of your contractor license application or renewal. Without it, your license will not be issued and you cannot legally take on jobs in the village. This is a local Lyons requirement, not an Illinois state mandate.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the Village of Lyons and its residents from financial harm caused by a licensed contractor who fails to comply with local ordinances, abandons a project, or causes property damage. You, the contractor, are the principal. The Village of Lyons is the obligee — the party the bond is written to protect. A claim can be filed against the bond if you fail to fulfill your obligations under your Lyons contractor license.
When is it Required?
Applying for a contractor license in Lyons is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. The village will not approve your license application or process a renewal until a valid, executed bond is on file.

Where Does it Apply?
