Questions about this bond
Can one bond list multiple trades?
Yes. The 2026 instructions allow all applicable trades on one bond, while requiring separate CSS registrations. Use the Village's accepted amount for that request rather than adding or combining sums yourself.
Does every trade require the same bond?
No. General is listed at $25,000, many trades at $10,000, and some categories use different credential instructions. Check the actual trade row before applying.
Does a bond ending after December 31 extend my registration?
No. Palatine expressly says contractor registrations expire December 31 each calendar year regardless of bond end date. Renew the registration separately.
