Youngstown specialty contractor bonds.
$300 flat. Five minutes.
The City of Youngstown requires every specialty contractor to file a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of registration. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every contractor. The application is five minutes, and registration bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Youngstown registers specialty contractors and conditions that registration on a $10,000 surety bond, filed alongside a State of Ohio specialty contractor's license (under O.R.C. Chapter 4740) and proof of liability insurance. The bond is a City-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with the City's registration requirements.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Youngstown (the obligee). If you fail to comply with the City's requirements and someone is harmed, the City can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Youngstown registration and the bond both run to December 31 each year. Let the bond lapse and your registration is no longer in good standing — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
