The City of Prichard requires a plumbing contractor to file a $10,000 license bond as a condition of its city plumbing license — ours is $300 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes, and license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















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, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
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 and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your City of Prichard plumbing 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.
The City of Prichard, in Mobile County, licenses plumbing contractors who work within the city and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the city's plumbing code, permit rules, and ordinances.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Prichard (the obligee). If you do faulty or non-permitted work that violates the city's plumbing requirements and someone is harmed, the City or the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Plumbing contractors who pull their permits and do code-compliant work treat the bond as a license formality, and the bond must stay active for the life of your city license.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
