The City of Wellston requires a $10,000 bond to register as a plumbing contractor and pull permits in the city. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every contractor. Five-minute application, and contractor registration bonds like this are among the fastest things we issue.
















Contractor registration bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no scavenger hunt.
Small fixed contractor bonds like this are among the 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 Wellston's plumbing contractor registration. 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.
A Wellston plumbing contractor bond is a guarantee to the City of Wellston that you'll do plumbing work in compliance with the city's plumbing and building codes and permit conditions. Wellston conditions your contractor registration on it as a public-protection backstop.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wellston (the obligee). If your work violates city code or you damage public property and don't make it right, the City — or a harmed party — can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and work to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
