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.
