New Jersey conditions a master plumber license on a $3,000 surety bond filed with the State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers. Ours is $100 flat — the price our carrier's rate book sets for this bond, the same honest number for every plumber. License bonds like this issue instantly.
















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 section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
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 State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
New Jersey licenses master plumbers through the State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers, and conditions the license on a $3,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the State Plumbing License Law and the plumbing work you certify under your license.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of New Jersey (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a master plumber violates the licensing law and someone is harmed, that party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond runs concurrent with your biennial license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration to keep your $3,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because the application collects no credit information.
