What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Rock Island County requires any person, firm or corporation doing business as a contractor within the County to register annually with the Zoning & Building Safety Department and to file a $10,000 continuous code compliance bond, conditioned on the contractor faithfully performing all work in accordance with the County's building and zoning code provisions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Rock Island County (the obligee), with property owners and the County's code-enforcement interest as the protected parties. If a registered contractor's work violates the County's code provisions and causes a covered loss, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond is written as a continuous obligation that stays in force until canceled, and the surety can cancel future liability with 30 days' written notice to the County — work already permitted before that notice stays covered.

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 $10,000 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.
