How does a contractor bond work?
Contractor license bonds protect clients from damages due to a contractor’s faulty work. Bonded contractors must follow all regulations and codes of the obligee (the City of DeKalb). If the contractor breaks the bond agreement, clients can file a claim on the bond to receive compensation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need a DeKalb license bond and a statewide Illinois bond?
In many cases, local bonding requirements cover statewide ones. In some cases, however, you may be required to obtain multiple bonds. Contact the Building & Code Compliance Division for verification.
