About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the contractor license bond covers

Fairview Heights requires a business performing contracting work within the city to register, and conditions that registration on posting a surety bond. The bond stands behind the contractor's compliance with the city's licensing and permitting requirements on the jobs it takes on inside city limits.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fairview Heights (the obligee), with the city and the property owners you contract with as the protected parties. If a contractor's work or conduct fails to meet the registration's conditions, a harmed party can bring a claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety.

Fairview Heights sets the required amount by registration or permit class rather than a single fixed figure across all contractors. We could not confirm a specific municipal code section publicly, so confirm your exact required bond amount with the city's Building Permits and Inspections Department before you apply; enter that figure below and we price it from a $100 minimum.

City of Fairview Heights Building Permits and Inspections DepartmentThe City of Fairview Heights conditions contractor licensing and permitting on business registration through the City Clerk's Office, with permits issued by the Building Permits and Inspections Department. We were unable to locate a publicly available municipal code section citing a specific bond amount or statute number for this requirement, so we name the responsible department rather than guess at a citation. Confirm your registration class and required bond amount directly with the city before filing.
