Who Needs This Bond?

What is this Bond For?
This bond is a financial guarantee that you will comply with the City of Oglesby's licensing rules and contractor regulations. If your work causes damages or you violate the conditions of your license, the bond gives the city and affected parties a way to recover losses. You, as the licensed contractor, are the principal. The City of Oglesby is the obligee holding the bond on behalf of the public.
When is it Required?

Typically, the bond is requested during the license application process at the city's licensing or building department. Having your bond ready before you submit your application keeps your timeline on track and avoids delays in getting your license approved.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is valid only within the City of Oglesby, Illinois.
