About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Homewood plumber bond guarantees

Homewood, in Jefferson County, Alabama, licenses the trades that pull permits inside city limits, and conditions a plumbing and gas fitting license on a $10,000 surety bond filed with the city.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Homewood (the obligee). The bond guarantees your plumbing and gas work follows the city’s code and licensing rules; if you violate them and the city or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the city can suspend your ability to pull plumbing or gas permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.

The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier’s rate book for this specific bond, the same for everyone. The $10,000 is set by the city, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $10,000? ▾

No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

How fast will I have the bond? ▾

License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many tradespeople finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.

Is there a credit check? ▾

The application collects no credit information — small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don’t need any. Most applications approve instantly; if a check ever runs, it’s a soft pull that never affects your credit score.

When does it renew? ▾

The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
