Bexley contractor license bonds.
$100. Five minutes.
The City of Bexley requires a $10,000 surety bond before its Building & Zoning Department will issue or renew your contractor license. Ours is $100 — the price our carrier's rate book sets for this bond, the same number for every contractor. The application is five minutes, and bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Bexley contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the City. It promises that your permitted work will be done to the City's building codes and ordinances, and that you'll answer for damage to the City or the public caused by your work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bexley (the obligee). If your work violates the code or a permit condition and harm results, a claim can be made against the bond up to $10,000.
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. Bexley renews contractor licenses on a December 31 cycle, so we track your bond and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out — keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
