The City of Minnetonka requires a $1,000 surety bond to license a portable storage container supplier (POD-style units placed in the city) — ours is $275 flat, our minimum premium. The application is five minutes, and municipal license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















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 check 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 renews on the City's statutory date (07/31). It arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Minnetonka. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$1,000 bond × 3% = $30, but our minimum premium is $275 — so this bond is $275, one-time per term.
A Minnetonka portable storage container supplier bond is a compliance guarantee to the City. It promises that when you place portable storage containers in Minnetonka, you'll follow the city's placement, permit, and removal rules and won't leave damage behind.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Minnetonka (the obligee). If a placement violates city rules or damages public property, the City can recover against the bond.
The bond renews on the City's statutory date (07/31). Let it lapse and the City can suspend your supplier license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $1,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
