What this bond does
Prepare the Village's contractor security with the required licensing/permit hold-harmless language.
- Who needs it
- Hillside contractors and subcontractors with an applicable Village request, rather than plumbing applicants automatically assumed to need the bond.
- Who it protects
- The required clause holds Hillside harmless from specified loss, costs, damage, expense or liability resulting from issuing the license or permit. The accepted instrument defines that obligation; it does not turn into the contractor's liability insurance.

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
Is the amount alone enough?
The Village also requires its stated hold-harmless clause in the original License and Permit Bond. Check the accepted wording and issued execution.
Does plumbing's Letter of Intent notarization apply to every bond?
No. That instruction concerns the plumber-of-record's Letter of Intent and differs for corporate versus noncorporate holders. Plumbing is separately excluded from the surety line.
Does a portal account complete contractor requirements?
The page separately calls for required documents and an original bond. Confirm the issued-document handoff; an account or provider receipt is not the executed security.
