About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

HVAC and fuel-burning equipment work in Belleville is licensed under Chapter 153, the city's Gas, Oil and Solid Fuel Burner Code, and administered by the Office of the Gas, Oil and Solid Fuel Burner Inspector. Registering a burner contractor's business is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond that stands behind the contractor's compliance with the code and the quality of the installation work performed.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Belleville (the obligee), which the bond indemnifies against a registered contractor's failure to observe the chapter's ordinances and rules, or negligence in performing burner work. If that happens, the city can make a claim against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond needs to stay active for as long as you hold an active burner contractor registration with the city, so file it before you register rather than after the inspector's office asks for it.

Belleville Municipal Code Ch. 153Chapter 153 — the Gas, Oil and Solid Fuel Burner Code — governs registration of contractors who install, service, or repair gas, oil, and solid-fuel burning equipment in Belleville, and is administered by the Office of the Gas, Oil and Solid Fuel Burner Inspector. Section 153.05 fixes the registration bond at $10,000; confirm your specific trade classification with the office before filing, and we'll write to whichever amount it requires.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Belleville HVAC / burner contractor bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every registering contractor. The $10,000 bond amount is set by the city's Chapter 153 burner code, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so most applicants approve instantly. If a check ever runs on this bond, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.
Does this cover general demolition or street work too?No — this bond is specific to HVAC and burner-equipment registration under Chapter 153. Belleville licenses demolition and street work separately, each with its own bond; we write both, too.
