The City of Dayton requires every warm air heating contractor to file a $10,000 surety bond with the City for its license. Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, identical for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















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 section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Contractor license bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your warm air heating license application — along with your certificate of liability. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Dayton licenses warm air heating contractors and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond filed with the City, along with proof of liability insurance. The bond is a City-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Dayton's heating contractor requirements.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dayton (the obligee). If you fail to comply with the City's requirements and someone is harmed, the City can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and your license is no longer in good standing — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information.
