About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

City of Solon — Contractor RegistrationThe City of Solon requires this bond as a condition of contractor registration; the $25,000 bond amount and terms are set by the City and administered through its Building Department. We don't cite a specific code section we can't verify — the controlling requirement is Solon's contractor registration ordinance as applied by the Building Department.

Common questions.

How much is the Solon contractor registration bond?The premium is $125 flat, set by the carrier rate book for this specific bond — the same for every contractor. The $25,000 bond amount is set by the City; the price is fixed regardless, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $125. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

How fast will I have the bond?Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at all — most applicants are approved instantly. If a check ever runs on a bond like this, it's a soft pull that never affects your score.

When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you're registered with the City. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your registration never lapses over a missed email.
