About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Minnesota licenses satellite system contractors — businesses that install, alter, or repair equipment for satellite broadcast communication systems — through the Department of Labor and Industry under Minn. Stat. ch. 326B. As a condition of licensing, the contractor must give and maintain a $25,000 surety bond to the state.

The bond is a public-protection guarantee standing behind the contractor’s compliance with the licensing and construction-code law. If the contractor fails to comply and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond. You are the principal, the surety stands behind you, and the State of Minnesota is the obligee.

Technology and satellite system contractor licenses expire August 1 of each even-numbered year, and the bond must stay in effect for the life of the license. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track your $25,000 filing and notify you ahead of renewal.

Minn. Stat. ch. 326B (Department of Labor and Industry)Minnesota satellite system contractors are licensed by the Department of Labor and Industry under Minn. Stat. ch. 326B and Minnesota Rules ch. 3800–3801. As a condition of licensing the contractor must give and maintain a $25,000 bond to the state. Technology and satellite system contractor licenses expire August 1 of each even-numbered year. Confirm your filing details on your DLI license application.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Minnesota satellite system contractor bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the fixed $25,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The $25,000 is set as a condition of licensing, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750. The $25,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry requires it as a condition of a satellite system contractor license under Minn. Stat. ch. 326B. No active bond, no license.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount license bonds like this one don’t need one.
When does it renew? +
Satellite system contractor licenses expire August 1 of each even-numbered year, and the bond must stay active for the license to stay valid. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
