About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Springfield licenses contractors through its Building Regulations division and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a City-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Springfield's building codes and contractor requirements.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Springfield (the obligee). If you fail to follow the City's building codes and legal standards and someone is harmed, the City can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license, which Springfield renews annually. Let it lapse and your license is no longer in good standing — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Springfield contractor license bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the $10,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. Springfield sets the $10,000, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The City of Springfield's Building Regulations division requires it as a condition of a contractor license, guaranteeing compliance with the City's building codes. No active bond, no license.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount municipal license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for the life of your Springfield license, which the City renews annually. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
