The City of Bellefontaine requires a fixed $10,000 contractor license bond to register as a contractor in the city — ours is $300 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes, and 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, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
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 your City of Bellefontaine contractor license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Bellefontaine licenses contractors before they can pull permits and work in the city. The license is conditioned on a $10,000 contractor bond running to the City of Bellefontaine as obligee.
The bond guarantees you will perform work to the City's code, correct defective work, and follow the terms of your license and permits. If you violate the building code or leave a job unfinished and the City or a property owner is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
