What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor bond guarantees
Oklahoma licenses the building trades through the Construction Industries Board (CIB), which administers the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical licenses. As a condition of those licenses, a contractor files a $5,000 surety bond running to the Board.
The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work being done in accordance with Oklahoma's codes, rules, and regulations for the trade. If a licensed contractor violates those requirements and the Board or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.
Several Oklahoma municipalities use the same $5,000 figure for local trade licenses — sign contractors, certain building trades — running to the city rather than the state. It is a three-party guarantee: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. At $5,000, our carrier's rate book prices it at $100 flat.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with your license. Your executed $5,000 bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Construction Industries Board or municipal license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
