The City of Solon requires contractors to file a $25,000 registration bond as a condition of registering to work in the city — ours is $750 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application takes five minutes, and municipal registration bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















Municipal registration 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.
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 the City of Solon with your 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 contractor registration bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. The City of Solon conditions your contractor registration on it so the city, and residents who hire you, have a financial backstop that you'll follow the city's building and contractor rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Solon (the obligee), with residents and the city as the protected parties. If you violate the contractor ordinance or leave damage to public property unpaid, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your $25,000 filing with the City stays continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
