The City of Emerson requires a performance bond to guarantee that public improvements or permitted work get finished to the city's standards. We charge a flat 3% of the bond amount the city sets, with a $275 minimum — no project surcharge, same rate for everyone.
















A municipal performance bond moves fast once you have the required amount. Here's the whole thing:
Project details, the bond amount the city requires, and an effective date. That is the application.
We run a soft credit check — it won't affect your score — then you pay and e-sign. Most bonds this size issue the same day.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Emerson. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount the City of Emerson requires, with a $275 minimum. Examples:
A performance bond is a completion guarantee. The City of Emerson wants assurance that the public improvements or permitted work tied to your project get finished to the city's plans and specifications.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Emerson (the obligee). If you fail to complete the work, the city can claim against the bond to finish it, up to the bond amount.
The bond is tied to your contract or development agreement with the city. We size it to whatever Emerson requires and get it filed so your project can move forward.
These are the actual issuing fields. The soft credit check is built in and will not affect your score.
