The City of Parma requires a $25,000 specialty contractor bond as a condition of registering as a specialty (trade) contractor in the city. Ours is $750 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for everyone, with no credit check on this bond.
















Municipal 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 check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Specialty contractor bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Parma Building Department with your specialty contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A Parma specialty contractor bond is a compliance guarantee to the City. It stands behind your promise to follow the City of Parma’s building and contractor ordinances and perform your specialty trade work to code within the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Parma (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor or building requirements 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. Specialty contractors who work to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
