About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Walkerton contractor bond guarantees

The Town of Walkerton conditions its contractor license on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the Town. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: it backs your compliance with the Town’s building, permit, and right-of-way rules while you work in Walkerton.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Walkerton (the obligee), with the Town and harmed parties as the protected parties. If your work damages public property or violates the contractor ordinance, a claim can be made against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and restore the work site treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Walkerton contractor bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. The flat rate is 3%, but 3% of the $5,000 bond is $150, which is below the $275 minimum, so the price is $275. Same for every Walkerton contractor.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 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? +
License 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? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don’t need one.
When does it renew? +
You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your registration never lapses over a missed email.
