About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Newton license & permit bond covers

The City of Newton conditions certain contractor licenses and work permits on a license and permit surety bond. It is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the city ordinance the license or permit is issued under.

The bond runs to the City of Newton as obligee. If a licensee or permit holder violates the ordinance, damages public property, or fails to follow the conditions of the license or permit, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Because the required amount varies by license class and permit, you enter the figure the city named — pricing is 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information.
