The City of Sikeston requires a $2,000 bond as a condition of its plumbing or electrical contractor license. Our price is $275 — a flat 3% of the bond amount with a $275 minimum. The application is five minutes, and trade license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















Trade 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.
Trade license bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Sikeston. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$2,000 bond × 3% = $60, below our $275 minimum, so the premium is $275 per term.
A trade contractor bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The City of Sikeston licenses plumbing and electrical contractors and conditions the license on a $2,000 bond that you'll do the work to code and follow the city's ordinances.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Sikeston (the obligee). If you violate the city's plumbing or electrical code and the city or a harmed party suffers loss, they can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the city can stop issuing you permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
