Questions about this bond
Does every registered trade need this bond?
The City expressly says no bond is required for the listed 055 plumbing and 060 lawn-irrigation registrations. Use the checklist applicable to your trade.
Does a sole-proprietor affidavit remove the bond requirement?
The affidavit is listed as an alternative to workers' compensation documentation. It is not identified as a waiver of the separately listed surety bond.
Does the registration year set the bond's dates?
Oak Forest's registration lasts one year from issuance while compliance is maintained. Match the bond to the City's request and its own issued dates rather than assuming that schedule creates a fixed term choice.
