The City of Winfield, KS requires a $5,000 contractor license bond to register a contractor with the city. Ours is $275 flat — our minimum, since 3% of $5,000 lands below it. The application is five minutes.
















A contractor license bond is the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Fixed-amount municipal 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 the City of Winfield for your contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, below the $275 minimum — so $275 per term. Pick a 1, 2, or 3-year term.
A contractor license bond is a code-compliance and consumer-protection guarantee. The City of Winfield, KS conditions a contractor registration on a $5,000 surety bond standing behind your compliance with the city building code and contractor ordinances.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Winfield (the obligee). If a contractor violates the building code or the registration ordinance and the city or a harmed party is damaged, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
