About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Saint Paul license bond covers

The City of Saint Paul runs its business licensing through the Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI) under the city’s uniform license procedures. Many of those licenses and permits are conditioned on a uniform license and permit bond — a single bond form the city uses across license types.

The bond runs in favor of the City of Saint Paul and the public. It guarantees that the licensee will comply with the city ordinances governing the licensed activity, and it backs any penalties or damages the city or a harmed party is owed if those rules are violated.

Because the bond covers a range of Saint Paul licenses, the amount depends on which license you hold — DSI names the figure on your application. Enter that amount and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check, the same honest pricing on every bond we write.
