The City of Dickinson requires a $5,000 contractor license bond when you register to do contracting work in the city. Three percent of $5,000 is $150, so this one lands at our $275 minimum. The application is five minutes, and license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















City 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 arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Dickinson when you register as a contractor. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, below our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A City of Dickinson contractor license bond is a local compliance guarantee. It promises the City — and the residents you work for — that you'll do contracting work in line with the city's building and licensing rules and correct work that violates them.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dickinson (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor requirements, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
The bond must stay active while your registration is current. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your ability to pull permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
