The Village of South Russell requires siding, roofing, and windows contractors to file a $10,000 license bond as a condition of being licensed to work in the village — ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, an effective date, and SSN for a quick soft credit check — never a hard inquiry. No follow-up scavenger hunt.
License 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 Village of South Russell with your siding, roofing & windows contractor license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A siding, roofing & windows contractor license bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. The Village of South Russell conditions your trade license on it so the village, and residents who hire you, have a financial backstop that you'll follow the village's building and contractor rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Village of South Russell (the obligee), with residents and the village 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 $10,000 filing with the Village stays continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields, including SSN for a quick soft credit check — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score.
