About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Florence conditions its contractor privilege license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee to the city: it stands behind your obligation to follow Florence's building codes, ordinances, and permit conditions when you do work inside the city.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Florence (the obligee). If a licensed contractor violates a city ordinance, leaves permit work uncorrected, or owes the city for damage or fees, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and follow the city's codes treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk. We track it and notify you ahead of expiration so your license filing stays continuous.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the City of Florence contractor bond?The premium is $100 flat — the rate our carrier's rate book sets for this specific bond, not a percentage calculation. The bond amount is fixed at $5,000 by the city, and every Florence contractor pays the same $100.

Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Florence if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

How fast will I have the bond?Small fixed municipal bonds like this issue fast — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.

Is there a credit check?The application has no credit section at all — small fixed-amount city license bonds like this one don't need one. Most approve instantly; if a check is ever needed, it's a soft pull that never affects your score.

When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the Florence license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
