Before a DC health spa makes membership sales, it must post a surety bond with DLCP under D.C. Code § 28-3817 to protect members’ prepaid dues. The statute sets $50,000, or $25,000 for a spa that limits sales to 100 members. We issue it at a flat 3% — enter your figure and the premium updates.
















No long underwriting queue for the health spa bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with DLCP. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the statute requires, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check — the executed bond is generated once you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
File the executed bond with DLCP before you make membership sales. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure § 28-3817 requires and the premium updates.
The District’s consumer-protection law at D.C. Code § 28-3817 governs health spa sales — cash or credit sales in which a spa agrees to provide goods or services for more than 30 days. Before a spa makes any such sale, it must file a surety bond (or an equivalent letter of credit or cash) with the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP).
The bond is payable for the benefit of members injured if the spa closes or fails to deliver what they paid for. The standard amount is $50,000; a spa that states in writing it will make sales to no more than 100 persons may post a reduced $25,000 bond, provided it honors that limit.
It is a three-party arrangement: the spa (the principal), the surety carrier, and the District, with members as the protected parties. It is not insurance for the spa — if the surety pays a claim, the spa repays the surety. Proof of the bond is filed annually. Enter the figure that applies and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
