About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the blanket well drilling bond actually guarantees

A well drilling, operation, and production blanket bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. The City of Norman wants a financial backstop that your wells are drilled, operated, and ultimately plugged in line with City requirements — and that the City and the public are protected against damage from the work. A blanket bond covers your well activity under one filing instead of a separate bond per well.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Norman (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If you violate the permit conditions or damage City property and don't make it right, the City can recover against the $25,000 bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Operators who follow the permit and restore any disturbed property treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

City of Norman — Well Drilling PermitThe City of Norman requires a $25,000 surety blanket bond as a condition of its well drilling, operation, and production permit; the $25,000 amount and the bond terms are set by the City of Norman.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Norman well drilling blanket bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the fixed $25,000 bond amount, the same for everyone. The $25,000 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
What is a blanket bond? +
A blanket bond covers all your qualifying well work under one filing, rather than requiring a separate bond for each well. The City of Norman sets the single $25,000 amount.
Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price: the rate is a flat 3% either way.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your permit never lapses over a missed email.
