What this bond does
Prepare the Village's General Contractor registration security and its actual calendar-year dating requirement.
- Who needs it
- General Contractors hiring subcontractors under the specifically labeled Hinsdale application, not every trade using the same form and sum.
- Who it protects
- The accepted instrument defines the security supporting Village registration. Separate insurance-holder/additional-insured designations and the applicant's code-compliance declaration are not the bond's claims wording.

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 this General application for every contractor?
It expressly says only General Contractors hiring subcontractors. The department lists separate trade documents, including a different electrical surety sum.
Can the General request use a rolling year?
The posted General instructions specify January 1–December 31 of the applicable license year. Match those accepted dates rather than inferring a rolling provider term.
Can I use the subcontractor email route for the General original?
The page gives mail/drop-off for General documents and email for listed subcontractor documents. Confirm any different handling rather than assuming an original waiver.
