Stillwater minor street works bonds.
$300 flat. Five minutes.
The City of Stillwater requires a $10,000 bond to license a minor street works contractor — work in the public right-of-way that is limited in scope. Ours is $300 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 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.
