Overview
Contractors working in Mokena, Illinois are required to carry this bond as part of the city's local licensing process. Mokena's Contractor License – MAIL Bond guarantees that licensed contractors will comply with local ordinances, codes, and permit conditions. It protects Mokena residents and the city itself from financial harm caused by contractor non-compliance. This is a city-specific requirement — not a state license — so it applies only to work performed within Mokena's jurisdiction.
Who Needs This Bond?
Licensed contractors who submit their license applications by mail to the Village of Mokena need this bond. If you've been told by Mokena's licensing office that you must include a surety bond with your mailed contractor license application, this is exactly what you need.

What is this Bond For?
This bond holds contractors financially accountable to the Village of Mokena for violations of local licensing requirements, codes, and ordinances. If a contractor fails to meet those obligations, a claim can be filed against the bond to cover resulting losses. The bond gives Mokena homeowners and the city a financial backstop when a licensed contractor causes harm covered under the bond terms. It is not liability insurance — it is a guarantee of professional compliance tied to your local contractor license.
When is it Required?
