The City of Enid requires building contractors to file a $10,000 surety bond to license and pull building permits. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every contractor. The application is five minutes, and city license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















City license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
City 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 and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Enid for your building contractor license. 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 City of Enid building contractor bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. The city wants a financial backstop that your work meets the building code and that you repair any damage to public property — sidewalks, streets, utilities — caused by your construction.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Enid (the obligee). If you violate the building code or leave city property damaged, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code and clean up after themselves treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond does not have one.
