The City of Yonkers conditions sign-contractor registration on a $5,000 bond. Our carrier's rate book sets the premium at a flat $100 — the same for every sign contractor, no quote round-trip. The application is five minutes, and it collects no credit information.
















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 fields.
License bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your sign-contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A sign-contractor bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The City of Yonkers registers the contractors who install, erect, and maintain signs in the City — the bond gives the City a financial backstop that you follow its sign and building codes and correct unsafe or non-compliant work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Yonkers (the obligee). If a sign contractor violates City sign code or damages public property, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. For most contractors the bond is simply a line on the City registration checklist.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information for this bond.
