About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the contractor bond actually guarantees

A contractor license bond is the City of Newburgh's financial backstop that a registered contractor will follow the City's building, plumbing, and code requirements while working within City limits. It is filed when you register as a contractor with the City.

It is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety, and the City of Newburgh (the obligee). If you violate the City's contractor or building requirements and the City or a harmed party is owed, recovery can be made against the bond up to its penal sum.

The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your authority to work — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your filing continuous. We bond the amount the City set, with pricing from $100 — the application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.
