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.
