The City of Springfield requires a $10,000 surety bond before it will license a contractor. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every contractor. The application is five minutes, and license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















License 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.
Contractor license bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City's Building Regulations division alongside your license application. 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.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
