The Village of Greenfield requires contractors to post a $10,000 surety bond to register with the village and pull permits. Ours is $100 flat — the price our carrier's rate book sets for this bond, the same for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal contractor 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 fields, 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 and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Village of Greenfield to complete your contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A Greenfield contractors license bond is a compliance guarantee to the Village of Greenfield. It backs your promise to follow the village's building and zoning code, pull the right permits, and perform registered work to code.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Greenfield (the obligee), with the village and the public as the protected parties. If you damage village property, leave permitted work unfinished, or violate the village code, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Keep your registration active and your work to code and the bond is just a line on your renewal checklist.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit fields, because this application doesn't collect any.
