OKC tree service bonds.
$750 flat. Five minutes.
The City of Oklahoma City requires a $25,000 bond to license a tree service contractor — trimming, removal, and work that can affect City trees, rights-of-way, and property. Ours is $750 flat, 3% of the bond amount, identical for everyone. The application is five minutes, with no credit check on this bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A tree service contractor bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. Tree work — trimming, removal, and clearing — can damage City trees, rights-of-way, sidewalks, utilities, and neighboring property. The City of Oklahoma City wants a financial backstop that you follow its tree and right-of-way requirements and make right any damage.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Oklahoma City (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If you damage City property or violate the license conditions 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. Contractors who do clean work and restore any damage treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
