The City of Belleville requires a sewer contractor to file a $50,000 surety bond to hold a contractor license in the city — ours is $250 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application collects no credit information, so most applicants approve instantly.
















A municipal license bond like this is about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Municipal license 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 your Belleville sewer contractor license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Belleville's general licensing ordinance conditions a contractor license on a surety bond filed with the City's business licensing office, and sewer contractors — because their work ties directly into the City's public sewer system — carry a higher $50,000 bond than the City's baseline $10,000 contractor filing.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Belleville (the obligee), with the City's sewer infrastructure and affected property owners as the protected interest. If a licensed sewer contractor's work damages the public sewer system or violates the City's licensing ordinance, the City can draw against the bond to cover repair or correction.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The license and bond typically run on an annual cycle, so we track your renewal date to keep your $50,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
