Ours is $750 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same number for every contractor. The application is five minutes, and bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Willoughby hvac/refrigeration contractor bond is a compliance guarantee to the City. It promises that your commercial, industrial and institutional HVAC and refrigeration contractors will be done to the City's codes and permit conditions, and that you'll answer for damage or violations on the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Willoughby (the obligee). If your work violates the building code or a permit condition and the City or a member of the public is harmed, a claim can be made against the bond up to $25,000.
The bond must stay active for as long as you're registered. Willoughby's registrations run on a December 31 cycle, so we track your bond and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out — keeping your $25,000 filing continuous.
