Registration, bond, license & COI
Geneva does not have contractor registration. Trade licenses and project-specific documents still apply. For water-heater work by a contractor, the packet requires a letter of intent and copies of the Illinois plumbing and plumbing-contractor licenses. Confirm bond and insurance requirements for your scope with the Building Division.
04 / Inspection booking
Book the final step
