About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Oskaloosa contractor bond guarantees

The City of Oskaloosa conditions its contractor license on a $5,000 surety bond. It is a public-and-code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the city's building, construction, and right-of-way ordinances on the work you do inside Oskaloosa.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Oskaloosa (the obligee), with the public protected. If a contractor violates the city construction codes or damages public property and fails to correct it, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the city can suspend your license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.

City of Oskaloosa — contractor license requirementThe City of Oskaloosa requires this $5,000 bond as a condition of its contractor license; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Oskaloosa.
