About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A minor street works contractor bond is a compliance-and-restoration guarantee. When you cut, patch, or work in Stillwater's streets and rights-of-way, the City wants a financial backstop that you restore the pavement and right-of-way to City standards and follow its construction requirements.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Stillwater (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If you leave a defective patch or damage public property and don't make it right, the City can recover against the $10,000 bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way to City standards treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Stillwater minor street works bond? ▾

The premium is $100 — a fixed price for the $10,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The $10,000 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $10,000? ▾

No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

What's the difference between minor and major street works? ▾

The City of Stillwater scales the bond to the scope of right-of-way work. Minor street works is the $10,000 / $100 bond; major street works is a separate $100,000 bond. Check your license application for which class the City assigned you.

Is there a credit check? ▾

The application collects no credit information at all. Most applications approve instantly; if a check runs on a larger filing, it's a soft pull that won't touch your score.

When does it renew? ▾

You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
