The City of Thibodaux conditions a mechanical contractor license on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the city. Ours is $100 — the price you see is the checkout price, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The application is five minutes and collects no credit information.
















City contractor 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 section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small city 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 Thibodaux mechanical contractor license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Thibodaux licenses trade contractors who work within the city, and conditions a mechanical contractor license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your HVAC and mechanical work meeting the city's code and ordinances.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Thibodaux (the obligee). If a contractor violates a city ordinance, abandons permitted work, or causes a loss the city is responsible for, a claim can be filed against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Each trade is bonded separately, so a mechanical license carries its own $5,000 bond apart from any electrical or plumbing license you hold.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't collect one.
