The City of Wichita, Kansas requires a $5,000 bond as a condition of its parking lot striping contractor license, issued through the Office of Central Inspection. Ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond — the same for every applicant. Five minutes, and the application collects no credit information.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit fields, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types 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 the City of Wichita parking lot striping contractor license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A Wichita parking lot striping bond is a code-and-public-protection guarantee. The City of Wichita licenses the contractors who stripe and mark parking lots and pavement, and wants a financial backstop that you will follow city standards and stand behind your work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wichita (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected parties. If a licensed striping contractor violates city standards or damages property, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your city license. Let it lapse and the Office of Central Inspection can suspend the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit fields, because this bond's application doesn't collect any.
