What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A sign hanger bond is a code-compliance guarantee to the City of Wichita. Sign work happens overhead and over public ways, so the city wants a financial backstop that licensed sign contractors install signs to code and follow the city's sign and building regulations.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wichita (the obligee). If a sign contractor violates the sign 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. Sign contractors who pull permits and install to code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $2,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
