How do contractor license bonds work?
The Village of Fox Lake protects its public by requiring contractor bonds. These bonds are an agreement between the contractor, the municipality, and a surety that ensures local building codes are followed. If the contractor’s work fails to meet building and safety standards, any party that experiences damages may file a claim for compensation.
Contractors must secure the required surety bond before submitting their license application (to include it in the paperwork). Once a contractor receives their license, their surety bond will follow the license term.
The bond amount set by Fox Lake is $10,000. Because of simple underwriting, ZipBonds can often issue contractor license bonds without running credit checks for as low as $100.
