To license as an excavator with the City of Perrysburg, Ohio, you file a $10,000 contractor bond with the city. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — with no credit check.
















City contractor bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials, no credit-check 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.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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-check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
