About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Davenport combined bond guarantees

The City of Davenport conditions its utility, plumbing, and contractor licenses on a $5,000 combined performance bond. It is a public-and-code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the city's construction, plumbing, and right-of-way ordinances on the work you do inside Davenport.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Davenport (the obligee), with the public protected. If a licensee performs work that violates city code or damages public infrastructure and fails to correct it, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the city can suspend your license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Davenport combined bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. 3% of the fixed $5,000 bond amount is $150, which falls under the $275 minimum, so the price is $275 for every licensee.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The City of Davenport requires it as a condition of its utility, plumbing, and contractor licenses. The bond runs to the city; no active bond, no license.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount city license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the Davenport license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
