The City of Marysville licenses plumbing and electrical contractors, and conditions that license on a $10,000 bond. Ours is $300 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application takes about five minutes.
















Trade license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit-check section on this bond.
Fixed license bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your City of Marysville plumbing or electrical license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A plumbing & electrical license bond is a code-compliance guarantee to the City of Marysville. Trade work touches water, gas, and electrical systems in occupied buildings, so the city wants a financial backstop that licensed contractors work to code and follow the city's plumbing and electrical regulations.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Marysville (the obligee). If a licensed contractor violates the building or trade code or the conditions of the license, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and pass inspections treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
