The Village of Blasdell, in Erie County near Buffalo, requires licensed plumbers to file a $25,000 bond as a condition of working on plumbing within the village. Ours is $750 flat — exactly 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes.
















Village 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.
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 the Village of Blasdell for your plumbing license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The Village of Blasdell, in Erie County just south of Buffalo, licenses the plumbers allowed to work within the village and conditions that license on a $25,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee — it stands behind your plumbing work meeting village code and your compliance with its licensing rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal / plumber), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Village of Blasdell (the obligee). If a licensed plumber does faulty work that violates code, damages the village system, or otherwise breaches the license terms, the village can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Plumbers who do clean, code-compliant work treat the bond as a license formality. The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the village license.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
