What this bond does
Prepare the original contractor surety identified in Fox Lake's requirements, keeping the property-owner route distinct.
- Who needs it
- Fox Lake contractors supplying the Village-requested security, not an owner automatically assumed to be acting as a hired contractor.
- Who it protects
- The accepted form defines its secured conditions and Village recipient. The owner waiver allocates responsibility to the owner and is a separate document, not an issued contractor 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.

Questions about this bond
Can any contractor use the property owner's waiver?
The posted waiver is an owner-signed document identifying a property and permit. It does not establish blanket eligibility for every hired contractor; ask the Village about the actual route.
Does Fox Lake's plumbing row omit the bond?
The posted FAQ lists original $10,000 surety alongside 055 credentials and a Letter of Intent. Confirm the current Village request rather than borrowing a neighboring town's exception.
Is a provider receipt the requested original?
No. Check and execute the issued instrument and follow the Village's original-document requirement. Application and Village approval remain separate.
