The Village of Newburgh Heights requires a licensed contractor to file a $10,000 bond with the Village before working in the village. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, identical 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, your contractor type, and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, the application collects no credit information.
Municipal contractor 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 contractor license application at the Village. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the municipality. The Village of Newburgh Heights wants assurance that a licensed contractor will work to the adopted building code and the Village’s ordinances, and will repair any damage to public property.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Newburgh Heights (the obligee). If your work violates the Village’s construction requirements and the Village or a resident is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the $10,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the code and their permit conditions treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields, including your contractor type — the application collects no credit information, because this bond doesn't need it.
