What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Minnesota licenses water conditioning contractors — the businesses that install and service water softeners and treatment equipment — through the Department of Labor and Industry. As a condition of licensing, Minn. Stat. 326B.56 requires each contractor to give and maintain a $3,000 bond to the state.
The bond is conditioned on the faithful and lawful performance of all water conditioning installation or servicing done in the state, and is for the benefit of persons suffering injuries or damages from that work. It is written by a corporate surety licensed in Minnesota and filed with the commissioner.
A useful detail: once you hold this state bond, no political subdivision can require its own water conditioning bond. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 $3,000 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 Department of Labor and Industry. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your water conditioning contractor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $3,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
