The City of Jamestown requires a contractor license bond when you register to do contracting work in the city. The City sets the bond amount; you enter it and pricing is set at 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. Your exact price — 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — appears at the short application.
















City license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, the bond amount the City set, and an effective date. No financials, no credit 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 Jamestown when you register as a contractor. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A City of Jamestown 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 Jamestown (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor requirements, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to its full amount.
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 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — enter the amount the City set; no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
