The City of Bridgeport requires a $20,000 bond before a contractor constructs or repairs city curbs and sidewalks. Ours is $200 flat — the price set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond, the same for everyone. The application is five minutes and collects no credit information.
















Permit bonds like this are simple. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section.
Fixed-amount permit 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 the City’s curb-and-sidewalk permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Bridgeport controls work on its public curbs and sidewalks. When a contractor constructs, replaces, or repairs a curb or sidewalk, the City conditions the permit on a $20,000 surety bond.
The bond is a workmanship-and-restoration guarantee. It runs to the City of Bridgeport as obligee and stands behind your obligation to build the curb or sidewalk to city specifications and to repair any defect or settlement that follows. If your work fails and the City has to correct it, it can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who do good curb and sidewalk work treat the bond as a permit formality. The premium for this fixed $20,000 bond is set by our carrier’s rate book at $200; the application collects no credit information.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
