About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the sign hanger bond guarantees

The City of Minneapolis licenses sign hangers — the contractors who erect, install, and maintain signs in the City — and conditions that license on a fixed $8,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-safety and compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work meeting the City’s sign code and not endangering the public right-of-way.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Minneapolis (the obligee). If a sign hanger violates the sign code, damages City property, or leaves an unsafe installation, the City can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Sign hangers who install to code treat the $8,000 bond as a routine license formality.

City of Minneapolis — sign hanger’s license ($8,000)The City of Minneapolis requires a $8,000 surety bond as a condition of its sign hanger’s / sign erector license; the bond amount is set by the City of Minneapolis licensing authority. We do not invent an ordinance number — the $8,000 figure is the penal sum named on the City’s application, which we match exactly.
