The City of Blair conditions a contractor license on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the City. At 3% that would be $150 — but our minimum is $275 flat, the same for every contractor. The application is five minutes, and city license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















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.
City license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your City of Blair contractor license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, but the $275 minimum applies — $275 one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Blair licenses contractors and conditions the license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your work meeting the city's building code and your compliance with Blair's permit and inspection process.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Blair (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected parties. If a contractor performs work that violates the code or the licensing rules and harm results, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and pass inspections treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
