The City of Niagara Falls requires a $5,000 bond to license a master plumber doing work in the city. Ours is $275 flat — the minimum premium, since 3% of $5,000 is below it. License bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















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.
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 master plumber license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, below our $275 minimum, so the premium is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A plumbing license bond is a code-compliance guarantee. When you hold a master plumber license in the City of Niagara Falls, the city wants a financial backstop that your work will follow the plumbing code and the conditions of your license.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Niagara Falls (the obligee). If a licensed plumber's work violates the code or damages city property, the city or a harmed party can recover against the $5,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Plumbers who work to code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
