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 — no credit check up to $100,000, and most applications approve instantly.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with your registration. Submit the executed bond with your contractor registration to the City of Newburgh. Wet-ink originals mailed when the City asks for them.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
