What this bond does
Secure the permitted-work and City-code obligation described in Oakbrook Terrace's registration requirements.
- Who needs it
- General contractors and subcontractors whose City trade checklist requires a surety bond.
- Who it protects
- The City's requirements say the bond assures completion in accordance with the building permit and City code and must list the City and third-party beneficiaries as obligees. That defined protection is not a blanket guarantee of every private contract obligation.

Questions about this bond
Does registering online eliminate the original bond?
The City requires applications online, but its linked checklist separately says the original bond must be mailed to Community Development. Do not assume uploading or faxing a copy replaces that instruction.
Is naming the City on the insurance certificate enough?
No. The bond requirements separately call for the City and third-party beneficiaries as obligees. Follow the accepted bond wording rather than copying the insurance naming alone.
Must every listed trade provide this bond?
The checklist distinguishes bonded trades from reduced-document categories and other exceptions, including stormwater work under a stormwater permit. Use the row and conditions applicable to your actual work.
