What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Rock Falls’ Building Department requires every contractor to register before performing work inside city limits. Registration is conditioned on a $15,000 surety bond and required insurance, filed with the Building Department.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Rock Falls (the obligee). The bond guarantees your registered work complies with city permit conditions and code — so Rock Falls isn’t left absorbing the cost of work a contractor left out of code or unfinished.
It is not insurance for you. If the City makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Keep the bond current for the life of your registration — a lapsed bond can hold up permits until it’s replaced.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $15,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
