About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Pearl 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 Pearl'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 Pearl (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.

After you buy

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 $5,000 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 City of Pearl. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Pearl for your contractor privilege license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the City of Pearl 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 Pearl 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 Pearl 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.
Is there a credit check?No credit check: the application collects no credit information. The application has — small fixed-amount city license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the Pearl 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.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
