To license as an excavator with the City of Perrysburg, Ohio, you file a $10,000 contractor bond with the city. Our carrier's rate book sets this bond at $100 flat — and the application collects no credit information.
















City contractor bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed-amount registration 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 your registration or permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
An excavator bond is a restoration and workmanship guarantee. When you excavate in the City of Perrysburg right-of-way, the city wants a financial backstop that you will restore the site and stand behind the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Perrysburg (the obligee). The city expects excavators to make any and all repairs to the work site for one year following completion; if that obligation is left unmet, the city can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active while your license is in effect. We track the term and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your city license never lapses over a missed renewal.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't collect credit information.
