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.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Oskaloosa contractor bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. 3% of the fixed $5,000 bond amount is $150, which falls under the $275 minimum, so the price is $275 for every 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.
Who requires this bond? +
The City of Oskaloosa requires it as a condition of a contractor license. The bond runs to the city; no active bond, no license.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount city license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the Oskaloosa license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
