What it is and who needs it.
What the sprinkler bond covers
Minnesota licenses the fire protection industry — including fire protection sprinkler system contractors — through the State Fire Marshal Division of the Department of Public Safety, under Minn. Stat. Chapter 299M and Minnesota Rules chapter 7512. A contractor license is conditioned on a performance bond on file with the Division.
Per the State Fire Marshal’s licensing requirements, a fire protection (sprinkler) contractor must carry a $30,000 performance bond. The bond stands behind the contractor’s compliance with the fire protection rules and the proper performance of the sprinkler work it installs and services.
If a contractor fails to perform or violates the licensing rules and someone is harmed, a claim can be made against the bond — and if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety. We issue the amount your license requires, with pricing from $100 and no credit check up to $100,000 in the application.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the State Fire Marshal. Submit the executed bond with your fire protection contractor license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
