What this bond does
Supply the signed surety document in Lake Zurich's construction-contractor registration checklist when that checklist applies to your trade.
- Who needs it
- Construction contractors and subcontractors registering with the Village, including firms working on accessory structures; the published plumbing instructions require clarification.
- Who it protects
- The Village is the stated bond recipient. Registration paperwork, trade credentials and project permits have separate roles; the bond does not replace a permit or certify that work has been approved.

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 the signed bond be emailed?
Yes. The Village expressly accepts registration forms and signed bonds by email at Permits@LakeZurich.org. Complete the provider application and obtain the issued document before that separate submission.
Does the Village clearly exempt plumbers from this bond?
Its published instructions do not agree. The general checklist asks for a bond, while the second page of the linked form says plumbers need only their 055 license and registration form. Confirm the applicable requirement with the department before purchasing for plumbing work.
Does this registration bond cover every right-of-way requirement?
Do not assume it does. The January 2026 form separately calls for IDOT prequalification or certification for work in or affecting the right-of-way. That credential requirement is not another amount or term choice for this bond.
