Silvis contractor bonds.
$100 flat.

The City of Silvis requires a contractor to file a City of Silvis Contractor Registration Form — alongside proof of any state license and insurance — and to carry a $10,000 surety bond before working inside city limits. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — a soft credit pull at most, never a hard inquiry.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Silvis, a Rock Island County city along the Quad Cities riverfront, requires a contractor to submit a City of Silvis Contractor Registration Form together with a copy of any Illinois state license or bond required by law and a current certificate of liability insurance on file with the City. That registration package includes carrying a $10,000 surety bond with the City.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Silvis (the obligee), with property owners and the City as the protected parties. If a bonded contractor's work causes damage the registration requirement is meant to guard against, 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. Plumbing contractors file a separate Plumbing Contractor Only registration form with the City; confirm with Code Enforcement which registration track applies to your trade before you submit your paperwork.

City of Silvis — Code EnforcementSilvis's contractor bonding requirement is administered through the Code Enforcement office rather than by a state statute — Illinois does not license general contractors at the state level, and cities like Silvis set their own registration conditions. We could not independently verify a citable municipal-code section number for this specific requirement from a fetchable source, so confirm the current bond amount and paperwork directly with Code Enforcement before you apply.

How much is the Silvis, Illinois contractor license bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every contractor. The $10,000 bond amount is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so most applicants approve instantly. If a check ever runs on this bond, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.
What else does Silvis require besides the bond?The City's Contractor Registration Form also requires a current certificate of liability insurance on file, alongside a copy of any Illinois state license or bond you already hold. Our $10,000 bond satisfies the City's own bonding line on that form.
