Flint sidewalk builder bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
The City of Flint requires sidewalk builders to file a $2,000 bond before constructing or repairing sidewalks in the public right-of-way. Three percent of $2,000 is below our floor, so the price is our $275 minimum — flat, with no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Flint requires a sidewalk builder to post a $2,000 bond as a condition of working in the public right-of-way. A sidewalk is city infrastructure, so the City wants a financial backstop that the work is done to standard and the right-of-way is restored.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Flint (the obligee). The bond guarantees you’ll build to the City’s specifications and leave the right-of-way in good condition — so Flint isn’t left repairing defective or abandoned sidewalk work.
It is not insurance for you. If the City makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Builders who finish to spec treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
