What it is and who needs it.
What the Minnetonka city plumbers bond guarantees
Minnesota plumbing contractors already hold a state license and a state code-compliance bond, but the City of Minnetonka separately requires a licensed plumber to file a $2,000 bond with the City's Community Development department before the City issues plumbing permits to that plumber. It is a local, permit-side layer on top of the state licensing framework.
The bond is a compliance guarantee running to the City of Minnetonka: it stands behind a licensed plumber's obligation to perform permitted plumbing work according to the applicable plumbing code and the terms of the permit issued. If a licensed plumber fails to comply, the City can bring a claim against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Minnetonka (the obligee). It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay active for the life of your city license, so we track it and send renewal notices ahead of expiration.

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 $2,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 City. Your executed $2,000 bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Minnetonka plumbing permit application or license renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
