What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a licensed plumber in Granite City will perform work in accordance with city ordinances and applicable plumbing codes. It protects the city and property owners from financial loss caused by defective workmanship, code violations, or abandoned projects. The bond is not insurance for the plumber — it's a financial guarantee held on behalf of the city. Any valid claim against the bond can be paid out up to the bond's full penal sum.
When is it Required?
Before your plumber's license is issued by the City of Granite City, you'll be required to submit proof of this bond. The city typically requests the bond at the point of license application or renewal — not after the work begins. Having your bond ready before you apply keeps the process moving and avoids delays in getting your license approved.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the City of Granite City, Illinois and satisfies a local licensing requirement — it is not a statewide Illinois contractor bond.
