Trades covered

"All contractors doing work within the Village of Richton Park must register prior to beginning any qualifying projects" — general contractors and subcontractors. Special credential requirements for plumbing, lawn sprinkler, roofing and electrical contractors.

Bond amount and insurance minimums are not published on the Village website; they are presumably shown inside the SmartGov application (login required). Village "will provide a list of registered contractors by trade" but will not recommend contractors. Chief Building Inspector Bill Gleason (bgleason@richtonpark.org).
