The City of Horn Lake requires a $5,000 contractor license bond as a condition of its contractor privilege license. The premium is $275 flat — 3% of $5,000 lands at our minimum. This bond renews on a statutory December 31 date; you choose a 1, 2, or 3-year term at purchase.
















City 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, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed municipal bonds like this issue right after purchase in most cases. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Horn Lake for your contractor privilege license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, below our $275 minimum, so it is $275 flat per term. The bond renews on a statutory 12/31 date; multi-year terms are priced per year.
The City of Horn Lake 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 Horn Lake's building codes, ordinances, and permit conditions when you work inside the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Horn Lake (the obligee). If a licensed contractor violates a city ordinance or leaves permitted work uncorrected, the city can recover against the bond.
This bond carries a statutory renewal on December 31, so the term you select runs to a year-end date. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the expiration and notify you ahead of the year-end so your license filing stays continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
