Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told by River Grove that you need this bond to get your contractor's license — and you can't legally operate in the village without it. Any contractor seeking to register or maintain a license with the Village of River Grove must secure this bond as a condition of that license. This applies whether you're a general contractor, specialty trade contractor, or home improvement contractor working within River Grove's jurisdiction. Without this bond on file, your license application will not be approved.
What is this Bond For?
River Grove's Contractor License Bond guarantees that a licensed contractor will comply with all applicable village ordinances, codes, and licensing requirements governing construction and contracting work. You are the principal — the licensed contractor — and the Village of River Grove is the obligee holding you to those standards. If you fail to comply and a covered violation occurs, the bond gives the village or an affected party a mechanism to seek financial recovery. It is not insurance for your business — it is a compliance guarantee made to the city.
When is it Required?
Before your contractor's license is issued by River Grove, this bond must already be in place — the village will not approve your application without proof of bonding. Whether you're applying for the first time or renewing an existing license, the bond requirement applies at the start of the licensing process, not after. Waiting until you've already started a project or submitted other paperwork puts your license timeline at risk. Get the bond first, then move forward with your application.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a local requirement specific to the Village of River Grove, Illinois, and it only satisfies the bonding requirement imposed by River Grove's contractor licensing authority. It does not fulfill bonding requirements in neighboring municipalities, Cook County, or at the Illinois state level. If you perform contracting work in other Illinois jurisdictions, those locations may have separate bonding requirements of their own.
