The Village of Timberlake requires a $5,000 bond to hold a contractor license in the village. At 3% that is $150, but our minimum premium is $275 flat — the same 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.
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 arrives by email, ready to file with your Timberlake contractor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, but our minimum premium is $275 — so $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The Village of Timberlake licenses contractors who work in the village and conditions that license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee: it backs your promise to work to the village's building and right-of-way rules and to repair any public property you disturb.
It is a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Timberlake (the obligee), with the village and its residents protected. If a licensed contractor damages public infrastructure or violates the village's contractor rules, the village can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the village's rules treat the $5,000 bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
