How Much Does a Surety Bond Cost in Chicago?

The cost of a surety bond in Chicago is between $100 and $15,000. For example, the required bond for a mortgage broker bond is $15,000, whereas auto dealers require a bond of $50,000. However, you do not need to pay the full bond amount to comply with local laws.

We are an authorized surety company that has been serving Chicago for over a decade. Through our company, you can buy your bond by paying a bond premium rather than the total bond amount.  

Depending on your qualifications, the bond premium rate will be from 1% to 10%. Your credit score and the risk of issuing the bond are used to determine the rate. We work with clients with various credit scores, and we’ve proudly sold bonds to more than 99% of applicants.

Applicants with a 700 credit score or better qualify for a rate of 1% to 3%. With this credit rating, the cost of a $50,000 auto dealer bond is between $500 and $1,500.
