About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Baltimore bond guarantees

The City of Baltimore licenses haulers who operate on credit and conditions that license on a $10,000 bond. The bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your obligations under the City hauling rules and to the customers you bill on credit.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the City of Baltimore (the obligee). If a credit hauler violates the City rules and the City or a customer is harmed, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of the license — we track the date and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Baltimore credit hauling bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every hauler. The $10,000 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What is a credit-hauling license? +
It is the City of Baltimore license for haulers who bill customers on credit rather than collect at the point of service. The City requires the $10,000 bond as a condition of that license.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for the life of the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
