What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Davenport licenses general contractors and conditions that license on a $25,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with Davenport's building code and contractor ordinances when you build inside the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Davenport (the obligee). If a general contractor violates the city's building or licensing rules and the city or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the city code and pull proper permits treat the bond as a license formality. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your filing stays continuous.
