The City of Homewood requires a licensed plumber or gas fitter to file a $10,000 license bond with the city. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for everyone. The application is five minutes and this bond has no credit check.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here’s the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That’s the application — no financials and no credit check section.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Homewood plumber or gas fitter license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
