The City of Maple Grove requires a $10,000 surety bond to license a contractor who installs or erects signs in the city — ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Maple Grove with your sign contractor license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A Maple Grove sign contractor bond is a compliance guarantee to the City. It promises that when you install, erect, or alter a sign in Maple Grove, you'll follow the city's sign ordinance and permit conditions and won't leave damage or unsafe work behind.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Maple Grove (the obligee). If your work violates the city's sign code or damages public property, the City can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your sign contractor registration — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section in the application, because this bond doesn't have one.
