About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Oklahoma City requires sign contractors to be licensed and bonded before they erect, alter, or maintain signs inside the city. The $5,000 bond is a code-compliance and public-safety guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the city's sign and building codes.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Oklahoma City (the obligee). If a contractor violates the city's sign code or fails to correct defective work the code requires, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We keep the $5,000 filing continuous and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your city license never lapses.

City of Oklahoma City — Development Services (sign contractor license)The City of Oklahoma City requires a $5,000 sign contractor surety bond as a condition of its sign contractor license; the bond amount and terms are set by the City under the Oklahoma City Municipal Code and filed with Development Services / the building permit office. Confirm the current amount and form with the City before filing.
