The City of Davenport requires utility, plumbing, and contractor licensees to file a fixed $5,000 combined performance bond. Ours is $275 flat — our minimum, and below the 3% line on a $5,000 bond. Five-minute application, no credit check on this bond.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Davenport license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, but our minimum premium is $275 — so it is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
