What this bond does

Provide the licensing security requested for City of Rock Falls contractor registration.

Who needs it
Contractors registering their business and applicable work categories with Rock Falls.
Who it protects
The bond supports the City's licensing obligation under the accepted form. The applicant separately undertakes code compliance; this is not a substitute for the insurance certificate or a private project's performance bond.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Identify the business, trades and authorized applicant

The City form separates Business, Owner and Applicant if not owner. It says to check all applicable General, Electrical, HVAC and Drain Layer categories and lists a broader set of trades.

If someone other than the owner signs the City application, the form asks for an owner authorization letter for the applicant to sign the application or permit. That letter is not described here as a universal provider prerequisite or a bond power of attorney.

Check the $15,000 document before City filing

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Have the legal business identity, actual trades and City request ready. After issuance, check the requested sum, accepted naming, dates and required execution, then provide the bond for the separate registration.

The form's May 1 annual registration schedule does not establish a fixed bond term. Supply the applicable credential copies and complete the City registration and permit requirements separately from the bond application.

Questions about this bond

Is the required sum the same as a neighboring city's $10,000 bond?

The Rock Falls form specifies $15,000. Use the actual City request rather than another municipality's amount.

What if someone other than the owner signs the City application?

The form asks for an owner authorization letter for that applicant's application or permit signing. The bond has its own accepted execution requirements.

Does May 1 set the bond's term?

That date is part of the annual City registration instructions. Match the bond to the actual requested and issued dates; no fixed term is displayed here.
