The City of Tulsa requires a $10,000 bond to license contractors who tap and install water service lines connecting to the city water main. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every installer.
















Municipal license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the whole process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit section on this bond.
Small fixed municipal bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Tulsa water service installer license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed rate, multi-year if you want it.
A City of Tulsa water service installation bond is a compliance guarantee to the city. It backs your promise to tap the city water main and install service lines to Tulsa's water department standards — proper materials, connections, and backfill.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Tulsa (the obligee). If a faulty tap or installation damages the city water system or the right-of-way, Tulsa can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Installers who follow Tulsa's water department conditions treat the bond as a license formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
