The City of Newton requires a license and permit bond from contractors and permit holders working under its ordinances. The city sets the amount on your license or permit — and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard license and permit bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the city required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your Newton license or permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure on your Newton license or permit and the premium updates.
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 — and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Newton set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
