The Charter Township of Clinton requires a $5,000 bond to license or register as a contractor in the Township. The premium is set by our carrier's rate book for this bond: $100 flat. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Contractor license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials and no credit section.
Small fixed-amount contractor bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Clinton Township contractor license / registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The Charter Township of Clinton conditions a contractor license or registration on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your promise to follow the Township's building codes, permit conditions, and ordinances, and to restore any public property your work disturbs.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Charter Township of Clinton (the obligee). If a contractor violates Township code or damages public property and doesn't make it right, the Township can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the Township, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and work to code treat the bond as a license formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because the application doesn't collect credit information.
