Lansing show bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
The City of Lansing requires a $1,000 show bond for a show, exhibition, or public event permit — the bond that backs a promoter's compliance and cleanup. At 3% that math is $30 — below our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 flat. Five-minute application, no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the Lansing show bond covers
The City of Lansing conditions a show, exhibition, or public event permit on a $1,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance-and-cleanup guarantee: it stands behind a promoter's promise to run the event within the City's rules and to leave the public space clean and undamaged.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lansing (the obligee), with the public protected. If a promoter violates the permit terms or leaves the venue or public space damaged or littered and the City has to clean it up, the City can recover against the bond up to $1,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Promoters who run a clean event treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
