How Does an Illinois Commercial Pesticide Applicator Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, a commercial pesticide applicator license bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the commercial pesticide applicator license filing the bond
- Obligee: The Illinois Department of Agriculture requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the Illinois Pesticide Act.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your commercial pesticide applicator license bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
