Who Needs an Illinois Contractor Bond?

The Illinois Contractor Unified License and Permit Bond Act requires roofing and plumbing contractors to file a surety bond before performing construction work anywhere in the state.

In Illinois, roofing, plumbing and irrigation contractors must be licensed at the state level. Numerous cities, villages and towns in Illinois also require general and specialty contractors to file a local bond before working in the area.

Other Construction Bonds in Illinois

You may also need a bid bond, payment bond, performance bond, or other type of contract bond for certain construction projects in Illinois. These protect the public and project owners from contractors who default or fail to uphold their contracts in any way.

If you work outside of Illinois, we also offer contractor license bonds nationwide.

Various government agencies oversee contractor licensing in the state of Illinois:

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation manages licensing for roofing contractors.
The Illinois Department of Public Health issues licenses for plumbing and irrigation systems contractors.
If you need a local construction bond, contact the government office about licensing and bond requirements.
