Polk County contractor license bonds.
$100 flat.
Polk County requires a fixed $5,000 license bond as a condition of its local contractor license. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond class. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Polk County licenses local contractors and conditions the license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your following the Polk County construction codes and the conditions of your county license.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Polk County (the obligee). If a licensed contractor violates the county code or harms a customer, the County or the harmed party can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep your $5,000 filing continuous.
