Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Choose the amount for your trade

The village license application calls for a surety bond naming the Village of Dolton. Its standard contractor amount is $10,000.

Demolition contractors need $20,000. Use the amount for your actual classification when applying; a demolition request should not be entered as the standard contractor bond.

Keep the license application documents separate

In addition to the surety bond, the Village of Dolton Building Department requires a certificate of insurance listing the Village of Dolton as the certificate holder. The insurance policy must maintain minimum limits of $100,000.00 for personal injury and $50,000.00 for property damage.

Licensing materials must be submitted to the building department along with a copy of the contractor's driver’s license or state-issued identification. Specialized trades, including electrical, plumbing, and roofing contractors, are additionally required to provide proof of their respective state-issued professional licenses or certifications.

Apply for the bond, then complete village licensing

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Complete your bond application there, then check the issued document before submitting it with the village license materials. Dolton licenses expire April 30; follow the issued bond's own dates and continuation instructions.

The village application also calls for compliance with local building and zoning codes and at least 24 hours' notice to schedule inspections. It identifies pre-pouring concrete framework and rough wall and ceiling inspections. Bond issuance does not complete those project steps.
