Painters DC3 fringe benefits bonds.
4% of the bond amount.
A contractor signatory to a IUPAT District Council No. 3 collective bargaining agreement — the painters, drywall finishers, glaziers, and allied-trades council serving western Missouri and Kansas — must secure and maintain a surety bond guaranteeing payment of wages and fringe-benefit fund contributions owed under that agreement, and furnish the Council evidence that the bond is in place. This is a private contractual requirement, not a state statute. Premiums cost 4% of the bond amount, $1,000 minimum, after a soft credit pull that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the fringe benefits bond actually guarantees
A contractor that signs a collective bargaining agreement with IUPAT District Council No. 3 — which represents painters, drywall finishers, glaziers, and related trades across western Missouri and Kansas — agrees to pay its covered employees according to the agreement’s wage scale and to remit contributions to the affiliated District Council No. 3 Painters & Glaziers Trust Funds (health, pension, vacation, and apprenticeship/training funds) for every hour a covered employee works. The agreement requires the signatory employer to secure and maintain a surety bond guaranteeing payment of those wages and fund contributions, and to furnish the Council or its Trust Funds office evidence that the bond is procured and kept in force.
It is a private, contractual security — not a Missouri statute or a state licensing requirement. Three parties are involved: the contractor (the principal), the surety, and District Council No. 3 or its affiliated trust funds (the obligee) on behalf of covered employees. If a signatory contractor falls behind on wages or fund contributions, the Council or a trust fund can make a claim against the bond to recover what is owed — and if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety.
The bond amount is set by your specific collective bargaining agreement, not by a single statewide figure — it typically scales with covered payroll and the fund obligations that come with it. Confirm the exact amount your agreement requires directly with District Council No. 3 or its Painters & Glaziers Trust Funds office before applying — we size and price whatever figure your agreement requires, from a $1,000 minimum, after a soft credit pull that never affects your score.
