The City of Kent requires a plumbing contractor bond to register and pull plumbing permits in the city. The City sets the amount; premiums are 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, and your exact price appears at the 60-second application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard Kent plumbing bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the City. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the City of Kent required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
Most applications approve instantly. The application collects no credit information; if a quick check ever runs on a larger amount, it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score.
Submit the executed bond with your plumbing contractor registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City's office insists.
The City of Kent registers plumbing contractors before they can pull plumbing permits and work in the city. Registration is conditioned on a plumbing contractor bond running to the City of Kent as obligee.
The bond guarantees you will perform plumbing work to the City's code, correct defective work, and follow the terms of your registration and permits. If you violate the plumbing code or leave work unfinished and the City or a property owner is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Registered plumbers who keep their work to code treat the bond as a registration formality. We issue the amount the City set; pricing is 0.5% of that amount, with a $100 minimum.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Kent set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your registration.
