What this bond does

Prepare the license/permit security accompanying Ford Heights' contractor application.

Who needs it
Contractors using the Village's General, subcontractor, HVAC, roofing, electrical or plumbing application choices with an actual security request.
Who it protects
The accepted instrument defines its conditions and recipient. The application separately requires insurance and an applicant ordinance-compliance promise; neither supplies the surety's actual claims wording.

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.

Match the firm and construction type

The form asks for both a contractor classification and the type of construction being performed. Use the firm's actual identity and work rather than assuming the broad catalog label is sufficient.

Electrical and heating/air-conditioning contractors have proof-of-certification instructions, while roofing has a State-license instruction. Those Village application items are separate from provider prompts and the insurance attachment.

Keep the minimum and licensing year distinct

The bond line says a minimum of $10,000. Confirm the sum in the accepted Village request rather than changing it into an unconditional fixed amount. The existing provider choice displays no amount or duration.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Check the issued form, principal, recipient, sum, dates and execution before Village delivery. The application's year starts when the license is purchased, not automatically when the surety application is opened.

Questions about this bond

Does minimum mean every request is exactly $10,000?

No. The application uses minimum wording. Match the actual accepted Village sum rather than inventing a fixed or higher amount.

Does the licensing year start with provider checkout?

The form says the year starts when the license is purchased. That is not a surety application date or a provider term.

Are the trade documents identical for every contractor?

The form gives different certification instructions for electrical/HVAC and a State-license instruction for roofing. Use the actual Village class and keep those registration documents separate.
